Karashibi Miso Ramen Kikanbo Kanda Honten

Rating82SCORE
WHY IT'S A MESHI MAP PICK
Locals keep coming back. That is the real proof.
地元の人が、通い続ける。それが何よりの証明。
Since its founding in 2009, Kikanbo has refused to franchise, maintaining just two locations nationwide, and its Kanda flagship has earned the devoted loyalty of local residents and office workers over many years.
2009年の創業以来、FC展開を一切せず全国2店舗のみを守る鬼金棒は、神田の地で地元民や会社員に長年愛され続けてきた行列店だ。
With a Tabelog rating of 3.72 from 2,590 reviews and a TripAdvisor ranking of 16th in Chiyoda Ward with a score of 4.6, the queue outside never disappears regardless of the day.
食べログ3.72・2,590件、TripAdvisorで千代田区16位(評価4.6)という実績が示すとおり、平日・休日を問わず常に行列が絶えない。
As the originator of the karashibi style — combining the heat of chili pepper and the numbing tingle of sansho pepper in five adjustable levels — the shop delivers an experience found nowhere else, all from just 1,100 yen.
唐辛子の辛さと山椒の痺れを5段階で組み合わせる独自の「カラシビ」スタイルの元祖として知られ、1,100円〜でその唯一無二の一杯を堪能できる圧倒的なコスパが支持され続ける理由だ。

What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

The originator of 'Karashibi' style, where you can freely adjust the spiciness of chili and numbing from Sichuan pepper in 5 levels each. Founded in 2009. Only 2 locations in Japan (Kanda Honten and Ikebukuro). Always a queue.

A one-of-a-kind miso ramen with the double punch of spiciness and Sichuan-pepper numbness that becomes addictive. Only 2 domestic locations, no franchises. 2 min from Kanda Station, always a line.
