Ramen Horiuchi Shinbashi Ten (らぁめん ほりうち) Tokyo

納豆ざるらあめん / Natto Zaru Ramen / Ramen Horiuchi — Shinbashi, Tokyo

Manrai style ramen consists of pork and chicken bone soup paired with a light shoyu tare. Medium-thick wavy noodles are custom ordered. Topped with raw egg, natto, stewed pork shoulder chashu, menma, negi and nori.

Founder Toshihiro Horiuchi first worked as the right-hand man to master Takano-san, who founded the legendary ramen shop Manrai (opened in Nerima in 1961). By the time Takano-san retired, he had moved his store to Shinjuku and suggested that Horiuchi-san go independant. Ramen Horiuchi thus opened 50 meters away from Manrai (in 2007), with a taste and menu virtually identical. That taste is carried on with this Shinbashi branch. Open five days a week from 7am and six days a week until 3am. 22 seats. Since May 29th, 2013. Less
