Recommended bowl: Ramen elite
Master Honda-san is widely considered one of the elite ramen chefs in Japan. He originally trained under the legendary Yamagishi-san at Higashi-Ikebukuro Taishōken, before opening his own shop in Higashi-Jūjō in 2008. In April 2020 Honda-san moved the flagship to a brand new more central location in Akihabara. Multiple styles are on the menu, including shoyu, shio and tsukemen. The soup base is made with chickens and four types of gyokai, including hamaguri clams. Noodles are house-made in a noodle room at the shop, and the tsukemen is served with kombu dashi. A top level shop.
