Recommended bowl: Eifukucho Taishōken style

Inspired by the legendary Eifukucho Taishōken, this shop offers up simple but wholesome bowls of shoyu ramen, made with a clear soup using niboshi, pork leg bones, katsuobushi and vegetables. Noodles are supplied by the purveyor Yamada Seimenjo. Master Miyamoto-san runs the head shop in Funabashi, Chiba, and this Kameido outpost is the second branch. Miyamoto-san arrives every day at 5am to start prep. Funabashi flagship open since 1975, Kameido branch since 2013.
