Ramen MAIKAGURA

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。
Around 2016, the owner — trained at the celebrated Nakamuraya — opened MAIKAGURA in Chitose-Funabashi with a clear purpose: make a clean, additive-free chicken paitan that needs no enhancement, then let a quiet note of white truffle oil do what no one expected.
The result has been five consecutive years of Tabelog Ramen Hyakumeiten selection (2020–2025), a TRY Ramen Award Hall of Fame induction in the chicken paitan category, and a score of 3.85 across 1,861 reviews.
The base shoyu ramen is 780 yen.
Regulars say, consistently, that the price for a Hall of Fame bowl is not normal — and every one of them means it as the highest compliment.

What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A ramen gem hidden in a residential neighborhood, 7-minute walk from Chitose Funabashi Station. Selected for Tabelog Top 100 Ramen for 5 consecutive years starting 2020. TRY Ramen Award Hall of Fame for chicken paitan. The chef (Nakamuya trained) crafts no-MSG light chicken paitan broth that earns 'unbelievable at this price' reactions. Counter seating only (9 seats).

'9-seat shop in a residential neighborhood, yet Top 100 for 5 straight years — the quality is undeniable.' 'The white truffle oil chicken paitan is among the best in Tokyo.' 'Worth taking the train all the way to Chitose Funabashi.' Tabelog: 3.85 (1,861 reviews).
