Closest to where I was staying--myCube my Stay Hotel, but really old place n not the cleanest. The ramen broth was not good at all, cloudy clumps all over, probably the lard, n tasted only borderline ok. Definitely won't return.

One of the best ramen in Tokyo. The pork fat style is unique and very flavorful.

Lovely little ramen place, good price, honest delicious food. Super friendly owner, you know a restaurant is good when lots of local come to eat and everyone else there was local. As with most good ramen places, you can order Ramen or Ramen. Slight variations exist with / without pork, salted / soy based, and rice instead of noodles. Drink choices are beer or beer. Free water. What a great place!

Soy sauce ramen with rich pork back fat. It is a historic ramen shop in Kuramae in Tokyo. Pig rice is popular.

特製元ラーメン(醤油)+こぶためしを注文。はじめは意外と味が薄いなと感じたのですがどうやら底に醤油が溜まっているようです😅食べる前に一度混ぜたほうがいいでしょう。メンマは甘くチャーシューはトロトロ系で具材はとても美味しかったです。麺は柔らかめ、味は普通の背脂系ラーメンですね。あと、こぼれたのかそういうものなかは分かりませんがラーメンの器の持ち手側にも背脂がビチャビチャだったのが個人的にビックリしました🤣こぶた飯はごま油とタレをかけて食べる豚丼です。ごま油とチャーシューがよく合っていて美味しかったです。おすすめです。セットだと半丼ですがラーメンと一緒と結構な量なのでこれで十分な量だと感じじます。

Visited japan for 20 days. Went all the way from Narita to Hiroshima and back. Throughout all those travels I must say, hands down the best ramen place to eat. I ate ramen everyday. Visited many ramen places and chains but this little family owned shop was the best. Delicious soup and the noodles and toppings were fantastic. Only 2 stops away from Akihabara and 20 mins from the subway station. If you want quality ramen, Its worth the travel.

Very interesting ramen. Their house special has a very dark colored broth, which we expected to be rich and heavy. However, the flavors were light and refreshing for ramen. We also ordered a number 4, which was light in color but very hardy. The interior was very Showa-era Japan. Most of the seating is at the counters but there are around 3-4 tables that seat 4. At first one of he workers was a bit rude, but after some time he softened up. They also had this strange contraption inside that made sesame seed oil. I would definitely recommend this place.

Ah-mazing ramen!!! Very worth the visit! Cute, traditional place. Not a touristy place at all, but at least one employee spoke excellent English, so had zero issues communicating and making a choice. They have a special broth and they also sell the meat that goes in the ramen (in case you're looking for a 1kg loaf to take away 😃).

Friendly staff and has an English menu. The prices are reasonable. A bowl of soy sauce ramen was 650 yen. It isn't the best tasting ramen I had but still delicious. This was a low-key place that caters to locals.

This was hands down the best Tonkatsu Ramen we had. For refined ramen in Kuramae, there's no better place than the original branch of Genraku, it seems. Awesome food and a history lesson along with it all makes it the best experience! specialists in tonkotsu concoctions, the shoyu soup, cooked for a full three days, combines a Fatty pork taste with fresh vegetable aromas, which are best sampled in the joint's signature Gen Ramen. And if you feel this already greasy mixture still a little too light, try the extra-fatty Tokusei Ramen.

For local feeling, the full shilling. Two old men at the hour of 15 and 30 man the stirrings of the soup, the creaking of the vegetables and the tumbling of the noodles. They press and massage the air that encloses the customers.The tsukemen was pretty tasty with some chunky, verbose pork pieces squeaking up at you out of the soup between swimming, eel-like slivers of menma.Kuramae anomaly.

I am doing my best for corona measures.・Install body temperature check camera(Body temperature is displayed on the monitor above the entrance)・All shop assistants are masks + face shields・Seat partition(No space between seats)・Alcohol and tissue for each seat・Disposable disposable chopsticks are individually wrapped・Windows and entrances are fully open for ventilationI ordered the original ramen dumpling set.The minced pork is on top.Although the volume of the set should be half, it was as big as a beef bowl and I was full.The amount of back fat in ramen can be selected from low, normal, and high.If the amount of backfat is normal, it does not give a tingling sensation, and the light saltiness goes well with sweet Menma.The noodles are thin and straight.The floor is very oily so be careful not to slip.Water is self from the server at the entrance.
