Recommended bowl: Kombu mountain

Open for over 32 years, this old school mom n' pop shop attracts a steady stream of salesmen and regulars with its classic, simple menu. The soup is a nostalgic, clear fish-based Tokyo shoyu, paired with Mimatsuya Seimen noodles, made in Tokyo near Minowa station. The OG master shuffles back and forth, dumping noodles and soup into the bowls lined up on the counter as the orders come in. The most popular menu item might be the kombu ramen, which comes piled with generous amounts of fresh kelp. Tasty gyoza available on the side.
