Recommended bowl: Tasty & enjoyable

Located in Shinsen, Shibuya, since its debut in 2007. Usagi (meaning ‘rabbit’) is a simple ramen shop with a decent following. Master Yamada-san offers quite a few options, with most soups using a triple broth blend of chicken, gyokai, and Japanese style dashi. Shio ramen, shoyu ramen, tsukemen — the menu is varied and everything is pretty good. No MSG. One of the most popular items might even be the chili-oil-infused tantanmen. Noodles special ordered from Itabashi Daiei Shokuhin. Rice bowl options on the side.
