Recommended bowl: Shio tsukemen

Small simple ramen shop located deep in the Nakano maze of alleyways just north of the station. The soup is a tori (chicken) paitan base, with options for niboshi (fish) as well. It's light and smooth, paired with a choice of shio or shoyu tare, along with either ramen or tsukemen. Noodles are supplied by Nakano based Taisei Shokuhin. Spicy offerings too. Open since 2009.
