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.

Tsuta, the first ramen restaurant in Japan to receive a Michelin star, is back in a new location in Yoyogi-Uehara, a popular area near Yoyogi Park and Shibuya. The menu still features truffle oil-infused shoyu ramen and other styles, but the new location is slightly larger to accommodate the influx of tourists expected during the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. The noodles remain made in-house. Tsuta has made truffle ramen a thing, and many other shops have started using cheap truffle oil in their soups for a chance at Michelin recognition. The new location uses ultra-premium ingredients, including top-level, expensive chicken from Aomori and konbu from Hokkaido. The restaurant has always used top-level, expensive chicken from Aomori and konbu from Hokkaido.
Rest in peace Onishi-san. The shops is now run by his disciple and the menu is different but still very gourmet. Less
