Recommended bowl: Elite level IEKEI

One of the highest ranked shops in Japan for Yokohama IEKEI style ramen. Run by master Yuta Koizumi, a young guy who apprenticed at various IEKEI shops prior to opening his own. Rich and smooth tonkotsu shoyu soup combined with chicken oil. Noodles supplied by Sakai Seimen, same as the original IEKEI shop, Yoshimuraya, in Yokoyama. The chashumen here is recommended, which comes laden with extra slices of pork chashu. Customers can choose between grilled pork belly (bara) or smoked leg (momo) chashu. This shop was called Marutakaya back in the day but closed and reopened as Ramen Hiiki in February 2018. Sometimes master Koizumi-san's father helps him, working part-time at the shop.
