Niboshi Dipping Noodles (Tsukemen)
Sugoi Niboshi Ramen NagiShinjuku·$$
¥1450.00
Thick dipping noodles served with a concentrated, extra-pungent sardine dipping broth.
Tip: This is the 'maximalist' choice. The broth is extremely flavor-dense. Make sure to ask for 'soup-wari' at the end to dilute the leftover broth with hot water—it makes for a perfect savory soup to finish your meal.

Triple SOBA (Chicken, Sardine, Clam)
Mugito OliveGinza·$$
¥1300.00
Refined ramen featuring a multi-protein broth that balances land and sea umami.
Tip: This is non-negotiable for serious ramen fans! The way the chicken and sardine stocks support the clam is incredibly clever. It's the most savory bite on the menu—don't share it if you can help it.
