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。
Founded in 1951, this Nakano institution is officially recognized as the birthplace of tsukemen (dipping noodles) in Japan.
1951年創業、日本のつけ麺発祥の地として73年間にわたり地元と全国のラーメンファンに支持されてきた中野の名店。
With over 73 years of history, a Tabelog score of 3.63 from 558 reviews, and morisoba priced around 700 yen, it offers a genuine encounter with Japan’s ramen heritage at remarkable value.
食べログ3.63・558件と地道なリピート客が証明するように、700円前後のもりそばで日本ラーメン文化の原点を体験できるコストパフォーマンスも別格。
Kazuo Yamagishi, who later brought modern tsukemen to Higashi-Ikebukuro Taishoken, honed his craft here, making this the ultimate origin point of an entire noodle culture.
東池袋大勝軒の山岸一雄氏がつけ麺を考案したのもこの店での修行がルーツであり、歴史的価値そのものが最大の選定根拠となっている。
