Yoshikawa, a renowned ramen shop in Kawagoe, has opened a third branch closer to Tokyo. The menu offers a variety of fishy bowls, including white or black shoyu ramen, Aomori niboshi ramen, and Madai Paitan. The shop also offers tsukemen and fish-topped rice bowls. The menu includes chemical seasoning-free ramen with dried fish from Chiba and Kagawa, and a mini sanma soba, a seasonal oily fish enjoyed in Japan's autumn. The limited bowl of buri ramen, featuring hamachi and kan-buri, is a standout dish. If closer to Tokyo, the shop would be a regular stop for their limited bowls, featuring quality fatty fish and a soup full of ocean umami.

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).

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.

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.

函館塩ラーメン 五稜郭 (Goryokaku in Ogikubo, Tokyo)
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.
