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。
For more than sixteen years this dedicated tantanmen specialist has anchored itself in Nakano, with a richly aromatic broth built on shrimp powder that sets it apart from everything else in the neighbourhood.
The ability to dial in heat and numbing spice independently opens the bowl to a remarkably wide range of palates, sustaining the long-running verdict that nothing in Nakano matches this level of quality for 900 to 1,000 yen.
Queues form at lunch and dinner with the same regularity they always have.
