ラーメン / Ramen / Small Axe — Ōimachi, Tokyo

Jiro-inspired ramen. Non-emulsified tonkotsu-shoyu soup is seasoned with shoyu kaeshi. Noodles (250g) are house-made. Topped with pork chashu, boiled vegetables (beansprouts and cabbage), pork back fat and garlic.

A small shop run by a lone master who listens to reggae and dancehall music while he works. Because the interior of the store is small, cooperation between customers is required when seating and leaving. If customers order extra toppings or veggies, it is expected to eat them all or risk being scolded by the master. Eight seats. Since March 30th, 2012 Less
