Soba House Konjiki Hototogisu
Shinjuku·$$
Shoyu Soba
¥1100.00
Signature ramen with a broth of pork, chicken, and hamaguri clams, finished with black truffle oil.
Tip: Take the first few sips of the broth before mixing in the truffle oil and porcini flakes on top. You'll be able to taste the incredible clarity of the clam stock first. The noodles are thin and have a perfect, lacy texture.
#2Score 97/100
Tsujita
Kanda·$$
Nidaime Ramen (Shoyu)
¥980.00
Refined soy sauce-based ramen with a clear chicken and seafood broth, topped with tender char siu.
Tip: The Shoyu version has a more pronounced seafood punch than the creamy Tsukemen. It's the best baseline to judge their stock-making skills. Order it with an extra marinated egg (ajitamago)—the yolks are perfectly jammy.
#3Score 88/100
Sosaku Men Hitosuji
Honancho·$$
¥1100.00
Soy-based ramen with additive-free double broth of chicken, niboshi, and skipjack.
Tip: Taste the broth first before adding condiments—the layers of umami are the main event.
