Menson RAGE Nakano Wantou (麺尊RAGE 中野 腕刀) Tokyo

腕刀そば + 替玉 / Wantō Soba + Kaedama / Menson RAGE Nakano Wantō - Nakano, Tokyo

Soup uses pork, chicken carcasses and a few kinds of gyokai. Sharp tare combines multiple varieties of shoyu with green chili peppers from Hachijojima. No MSG. Noodles are by Mikawaya Seimen. The recommended way to eat is to order extra kaedama noodles and dip them in the soup like tsukemen. Customers can choose the spice level of the wanto soba on request, niboshi soba available on the menu as well.

Run by master Hirota-san, who now has four shops in the RAGE group (Nishi-Ogikubo flagship open since 2015). This Nakano branch is the 2nd location to use the Wantō name and concept, the first being RAMEN WANTO in Kokubunji. The name Wantō refers to a type of strike in karate. Seven seats. Open since April 11th, 2022. @menson.rage Less
