燦燦斗 (Sansanto in Higashi-Jujo)
Sansanto is a renowned tonkotsu shoyu bowl in Tokyo, located near Higashi-Jujo station. The shop offers homemade noodles and is open for only two and a half hours a day. The small bowl of otsumami with beer previews the tender and flavorful chashu. The ramen bowl at Sansanto is considered one of the top 5 in Tokyo, with a slow-cooked soup made from pork and chicken blended with dried fish. The chashu, previewed with beer, is as good as it can get. Sansanto's location and homemade noodles make it an attractive spot for locals and tourists alike.

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.

Hakodate, a city in Hokkaido, is known for its shio ramen and fresh seafood. If you can't visit Hakodate, Goryokaku in Ogiukubo, Tokyo offers a light shio ramen with Hakodate konbu, a unique konbu harvested around the Hakodate area. This konbu is easily made into tororokonbu, an umami-rich topping that melts into the soup. However, due to global climate change, the water around the southern edge of Hokkaido is becoming less harvested. The konbu is made from a nutrient-rich area where the chishima and kuroshio currents meet, and ryolite, an acidic rock, makes it a perfect substrate.

麺創庵 砂田 (Sunada in Sugamo, Tokyo)
Mensouan Sunada, a ramen restaurant in Sugamo, Japan, opened in 2020 during the global pandemic. Master Sunada-san, who quit his job at 50, pursued ramen after a TV show he shot in 2016. The restaurant is highly ranked and has appeared on the Tabelog Hyakumeiten each year since 2021. The Shirakawa-style ramen is served at Mensouan Sunada, which is a timeless style with no chemical seasoning. The restaurant features Nagoya Kochin chicken cooked at a simmer for 12 hours, the soup left to rest for a day, and homemade wontons. The restaurant uses Mukacho (無化調), meaning no chemical seasoning, and uses all-natural umami goodness. Sunada-san's story is interesting, as he was a professional musician before working for an internet company. After contracting pneumonia in 2006, he quit smoking and started making his own ramen at home. After his daughter graduated high school, he opened Mensouan Sunada, training with the Watanabe group at several shops.
