Recommended bowl: Market ramen

Just finding this shop is somewhat of an adventure, since it sits nestled within Okubo's Yodobashi Seika Ichiba market. The shop has been open since 1951. It was previously run by OG master Tanaka-san and now is in the hands of his son. Open from 5am to 3pm, the shop basically caters to the market's customers. The place is essentially a Japanese teishoku restaurant, offering up classic lunch dishes like stir-fried ginger pork. But they serve ramen on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The chashumen is popular, served with succulent slices of fatty pork chashu and aonori seaweed. Awesome old school bowl in an authentic and unique setting.
