Recommended bowl: Spicy & numbing

Rousokuya opened in the heart of Ginza in 2017, serving a selection of bowls sure to please those seeking spice. The menu includes your typical tantanmen, but it also has māpomen: a bowl of ramen topped with fiery Szechuan-style māpo tofu, cooked with meat, chives and mouth numbing sansho peppercorns. You can choose your heat level when ordering, and then further adjust to taste with condiments on the counter, such as blended vinegar and budō sansho oil. Powerful flavors and impressive heat level make this shop one to watch. Less
