Recommended bowl: Legit aburasoba

This small shop specializes in aburasoba — i.e., soupless ramen with tare sauce and toppings, mixed together and splashed to taste with countertop-ready condiments like vinegar, black pepper and chili oil. The noodles are specially ordered from Mikawaya Seimen and you can have them served with a selection of tare sauces such as shoyu and shio. The cubes of pork chashu are seared with a blowtorch before being added to the bowls. Hagan now boasts a couple other branches but this is the original.
