🧾 Menu There’s a ticket machine is just after entrance. Unfortuantely, there is no English Menu, but you can imagine by picture of menu. Left is “Shio” and Right is “Shoyu(Soy Souce)” *Bottom one is for dumpling which is my recommendation to pick.
Finding the entrance to this ramen shop can be a little tricky, especially for first-time visitors. It’s tucked away in a spot that’s easy to miss, so use the photo above as your landmark. Once you walk up to the second floor, you’ll find the entrance and the ticket machine. Unfortunately, there isn’t an English menu available, but here’s a quick guide: the top-left button is the Special Shio (salt), and the top-right button is the Special Shoyu (soy sauce). If you’d like extra toppings, you’ll need to judge by appearance, but the bottom row features wonton toppings, which are highly recommended.
The eye catch photo on this page shows their Special Shio Ramen. It comes beautifully arranged with three types of chashu, zucchini, scallops, and dried tomatoes, giving it an elegant, slightly Western-inspired presentation. The soup is crafted from multiple types of chicken, simmered slowly to extract a rich, rounded flavor. It’s a mellow yet deeply satisfying shio broth, perfectly balanced without overpowering saltiness. The noodles are thin and smooth, making the entire bowl feel refined and harmonious.
This level of craftsmanship makes it one of the must-try ramen bowls in Tokyo for 2025. Akasaka has several ramen shops and there is popular among international travelers likes. But this one might be the very best in the area. It delivers both originality and depth without sacrificing comfort or authenticity.
Because the shop is often busy, especially during peak hours, making a reservation through TableCheck is highly recommended. If you’re exploring Akasaka and looking for standout bowl that blends creativity with classic Japanese technique, this ramen shop deserves a spot at the top of your list.
