Recommended bowl: Chicken & seabream

This Shinjuku-Kabukicho night-time slurp spot offers up a few smooth bowls made from chicken and shoyu as well as madai (Japanese seabream). The shoyu soup contains chickens, oysters, kombu and shiitake mushrooms, with noodles supplied by Daruma Seimen. Both chicken and pork chashu to boot. The madai ramen is a creamier soup, made from boiling 10kg of chicken and 10kg of Japanese red seabream. In this bowl, the noodles are supplied by different purveyor altogether — Murakami Asahi Seiemen. On top: Chicken chashu, iwanori seaweed, and pickled wasabi leaves mixed with yuzukoshō. Master Oono-san trained at Mendokoro Shinohara, whose master Shinohara-san trained at the legendary Mendokoro Honda. Legit lineage. Open since June 2018.
