Recommended bowl: Homestyle miso

Ichifuku first opened in the back streets of Hatagaya in 1990, before moving to its current location closer to Hatsudai in 2012. The master, Kumiko Ishida-san, used to be a housewife before opening Ichifuku, a miso ramen specialty shop. The soup is made from pork, pork feet, chicken, vegetables and wadashi. Five different types of miso got into the miso-tare. No MSG. Mikawaya Seimen noodles, and both ramen and tsukemen available. The recipe for the crunchy, crouton-like topping is top secret (it's not crouton). The curry side dish, made from the ramen soup, is also popular.
