麺や金時 (Kintoki in Nerima)
A ramen-slurping friend and his daughter were in town, looking forward to crushing something great with their honorary jiu-jiu. They missed the chance to try Kintoki, a local ramen shop known for its golden time chicken ramen. The shop offers a golden bowl of chicken soup with deep flavor and solid toppings. The shop's fame in the past was more about their soupless tantanmen. The author recommends visiting Kintoki early as they usually run out of soup before they close. Nearby shops include かずや (Kazuya in Ekoda), まる福 大勝軒 (Marufuku Taishoken in Ekota), ラハメン ヤマン (Rahmen Yahman in Nerima), JUNK ラハメン (Junk Ramen at Rahmen Yamen), KaneKitchen Noodles in Higashi-Nagasaki, 桜台らぁ麺 美志満 (Mishima in Sakuradai, Tokyo), 破顔 (Hagan in Sakuradai), RonFan (RonFan in Sakuradai), Gottsu in Nerima, and 愚直 (Guchoku in Nakaitabashi).

Mugitooribu is a new clam ramen shop in Tokyo, located in Ginza. Initially skeptical, it is a perfection with many amazing points, including the clams. The signature dish is the mazemen, which is made with noodles and an egg from a famous Kyoto noodle maker. The real draw is the triple soup, which consists of chicken broth, niboshi broth, and clam broth, tied together with a deep shoyu tare. The menu includes clams, chicken chashu, fish cake knot, and fried potato.

Yamatoki, a popular lunch-only ramen spot in Koenji, is a must-visit for a classic ramen lover. The restaurant is ranked among the top 100 ramen shops in Tokyo by the Tabelog Hyakumeiten.

The chashu is mega-tender belly cooked slow. The restaurant offers shoyu, shio, and tsukemen, as well as a limited bowl.

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.

The author visited Ranchu, a popular ramen restaurant in Nerima, and ordered the nikusoba, a spectacular bowl with a rich, meaty pork. Shichisai's chashu is considered the best in the city, but Ranchu's chashu is considered the gold medal. The author recommends trying both ramen places, as they can be easily ridden between them on a bicycle. The author is loving these automatic IG writeups.

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.

神名備 (Kamunabi in Nishi-Nippori)
The restaurant has a friendly atmosphere and offers shoyu ramen with extra pork, which was priced at 1200 yen back when ramen was usually no more than 800. The shoyu is a healthier option, but the dry appearance of the meat is due to its flavorful nature. The soup is refreshing and light, with abundant vegetable flavors. The meat is tender and juicy, and the homemade menu items like seasonal onigiri and puddings are enticing. Kamunabi is a great spot for chashu fans.

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.
