Chuka Soba Hanzawa (中華そば 半ざわ) Tokyo

金目鯛出汁ラーメン / Kinmedai Dashi Ramen / Chūka Soba Hanzawa - Nishi-sugamo, Tokyo

Shio based soup is made using kinmedai (splendid alfonsino). Noodles by Kanejin Shokuhin. Toppings feature nitamago, pork chashu, wontons, iwanori, wakame, menma, negi and diced red onions. Limited menu item, only available for one day. The standard menu uses a soup that combines chicken, pork and niboshi. Master Hanzawa-san trained at the shop Chibakiya, then ran a Tokyo Ramen Street outpost of the company, Kizou (now closed). Before going independent he also sought out guidance from the master of Fukumen Tomo in Jimbocho. The two shops now share the same stamp cards used by regular customers (for free toppings and limited bowls). Hanzawa-san runs operations along with his wife. Open since April 2020. Less
