Master Higashi-san briefly worked at the famous tantanmen restaurant Aun in Yushima before opening his own shop in the latter half of 2016. Here he offers a fresh take on shirunashi tantanmen — ramen noodles served over a bed of sauce and chili oil, and topped with various spices and toppings, such as Szechuan peppercorns, coriander, shrimp, and spiced meat. You'll be asked to select your desired heat level, which comes courtesy from four different house-made chili oils.
