ラーメン + ネギ / Ramen + Negi / Nakasu-Yatai Nagahama Ramen Shodai Kenta — Koenji, Tokyo
Nagahama style tonkotsu ramen. Pure pork bone soup. Thin straight Hakata style noodles are ordered and shipped in from Fukuoka via Aoki Shokusan. Topped with pork chashu, nori and extra negi. Free hard-boiled eggs and other condiments like garlic, spicy takana, pickled ginger, wood ear mushrooms and sesame seeds on the counter.
Master Kenta Yokoo-san trained at a yatai (street cart) in the Nakasu district of Fukuoka before coming to Tokyo. He first opened an izakaya with ramen on the menu, but later he decided to focus on ramen exclusively. During the 2020 global pandemic, he went back to Fukuoka and trained at the popular ramen shop Komaya before returning to Tokyo in 2021. Originally opened in 2006, moved to the current location in 2013. Eight seats. Renewal from March 2021. @yokoo_kenta
