Recommended bowl: New school nibo & maze

Master Nakajima-san opened Deko in 2014, after training for years at ramen shops in Kagoshima and running his own shop in Nishi-Koyama, Tokyo. The menu has changed since first opening; now the offerings include a niboshi shoyu ramen and mazesoba, among a few other bowls. The soup contains four types of dried fish, as well as kombu and shiitake mushrooms. The fresh soup is kept refrigerated overnight, then more niboshi and minced chicken is added the next morning. This is called 'oi-niboshi style.' Pork fat tops off the bowls. Miso tare option also available, as well as a plethora of sliced meats and egg (just order tokusei).
