鶏中華そば 醤油 (味玉入り) / Tori Chūka Soba Shoyu (Ajitama-iri) / Kasaoka Ramen Taketonbo — Tsukiji, Tokyo

Kasaoka style ramen from Okayama Prefecture. Double soup combines chicken stock and gyokai dashi, finished with chicken oil. The chicken soup uses old egg-laying hens (oyadori), which are said to contain a deeper flavor than younger chickens. Straight round noodles are supplied by Kanejin Shokuhin. Toppings include kujo negi (delivered directly from Kyoto each morning), menma, kashiwa chashu (stewed oyadori) and low-temperature cooked niwatori chicken breast chashu (using Shinrin-dori chickens from Okayama Prefecture).

Kasaoka Ramen Taketonbo is officially recognized by the local Kasaoka government with a certificate displayed at the store. The owner, operator and where they trained is kept a secret. 15 seats. Open since July, 2021.
