Recommended bowl: Yokohama style

For a quick ramen hit, Rasuta has been a favorite among Japanese men in their twenties for years. The shop was opened in 1996 by master Suzuki-san under the Paimen Group based in Setagaya, but today the shop is run by a former regular customer, Kayama-san. Although Rasuta has no official links to Yoshimuraya, the ramen here is very similar to Yokohama IEKEI style. The soup is made from boiling chicken bones and pork bones, and the noodles are specially ordered from Someya Seimen. It's a rich, thick, messy bowl. Order the recommended Rasutamen and your bowl will come decked out with pork chashu, egg and a layer of nori seaweed. Free rice, too. 2nd branch located in Yoyogi.
