Chuka Soba Hayama
A serious ramen shop where the owner from Sakata, Yamagata hand-treads noodles one portion at a time using bamboo. The wait is long but the resulting chewy texture is unmatched. The clear Japanese-style broth pairs perfectly with the house-made curly noodles. A hidden gem in the residential streets of Ushigomeyanagicho.
Reviews: 'The noodles kneaded by bamboo after each order are the real deal,' 'No other ramen in Tokyo is made this way,' 'Simple but deeply flavored broth.' Tabelog 3.71/643 reviews. Selected for Tabelog 100 (2017).
