Recommended bowl: 2nd IEKEI shop ever

Although now called Sugitaya, this shop first opened in 1974 as Yoshimuraya, and is the original birthplace of IEKEI-style ramen. Yoshimuraya has since moved on to its current location. Sugitaya remains, however, serving up authentic Yokohama IEKEI-style ramen: Tonkotsu shoyu soup, chicken fat, thick straight noodles cut slightly short, chashu, nori, and spinach toppings. The noodles here are provided by Sakai Seimen, same as Yoshimuraya. OG Master Tsumura-san holds a degree from Tokyo University.
