Recommended bowl: Inspired by Hayashi

Master Hashimoto-san previously worked at the legendary Higashi Ikebukuro Taishōken before opening this shop in February 2017. The house specialty is a rich tonkotsu-gyokai double-soup with Mikawaya Seimen noodles. Hashimoto-san is friends with Hayashi-san, the master of the well respected Shibuya shop Hayashi. The ramen at both shops is quite similar and Hashimoto-san readily admits the influence. Special to Hashimoto though — a spicy housemade chili paste topping made from various Malaysian spices.
