One thing I love about ramen is how it’s a chameleon. One bowl for late night stomach filling, one bowl showcasing ultra refined flavors and complexity. One created a hundred years ago, one created last year.

Enter Seijo Seika. They opened in 2020 and have since topped the chats of Tokyo Ramen Of The Year, Ramen Database, and Michelin Bib Gourmand. This one is a beautiful, clean shio with kelp and fish flavors. You can see in the photo how the translucent soup lets the wheat noodles shine. I could eat this everyday. And despite being a “fancy” bowl it still clocks in around just ¥1,000.
