中華そば もつけ (Chukasoba Motsuke in Hachioji, Tokyo)

Motsuke is a top Tokyo ramen shop located in Hachioji, less than a 10-minute walk from Hachioji Station. The shop offers special shoyu or tantanmen, and if the 40-minute train is too long, the rapid express can save eight minutes. The shop uses all-natural ingredients for its ramen, and the shoyu is a standout dish. The underlying soup is tinged with low-level heat and numbing spices, making it a favorite among customers. The deep soup ties everything together, unlike Chinese-style dandanmien, which has a simple soup and complex spices. The shop has a short wait time, and a gentleman bought two bowls to try the tantanmen and shoyu.
