Recommended bowl: Top-level tori soba

The master of Toy Box, Yamagami-san, previously worked at 69nroll one (pronounced 'rock n roll one'), a spot that was hailed as one of the best shoyu ramen shops in all of Tokyo by the city's top ramen magazines. This shop is shaped like a box, and making ramen is Yamagami-san's way of playing with toys. The soup at this shop is golden in color, bursting with deep chicken and umami flavor. The noodles are straight, thin and served firm, supplied by Taisei Shokuhin. The soup stock is made using five varieties of chickens, sourced from different areas across Japan. Each bowl is finished with a spoonful of chicken fat. Lights out.
