Recommended bowl: Takeichi style

Torisoba Mitaba in Shinjuku-Sanchome is run by a female master, Sano-san. She not only owns this ramen shop but also a girls' bar nearby. She aspired to open her own ramen shop, so she learned by training at the Takeichi ramen chain, which specializes in chicken-based soup. Her tori paitan soup carries a strong resemblance to Takeichi bowls, made with chicken bones and feet. There are many condiments on the counter for customers to get creative with, such as fruit vinegar, chili, sesame, ginger and yuzu-koshou. Open until 4:45am. Since May 2018.
