Hyperlocal Tokyo

We had dinner in the second-floor seating area. The old-fashioned 45-degree staircase was a bit of a climb, but at least there was a handrail. Everything else was perfect. We ordered the 'Shoyu Zenbu-Ire' (soy sauce with everything) ramen and the gyoza. The curly noodles were easy to eat and went well with the soup. The twin eggs were a nice touch. Highly recommended!

I visited during the weekday afternoon. There was a line of four people, and we waited for about three minutes before being seated. We ordered while waiting in line, and the bill was settled upon entering. The ramen and rice arrived about five minutes after we sat down. The egg was a bit disappointing as it was more broken than in the photo, lacking the twin-like appearance. However, the first sip of the soup revealed a rich, deep flavor with a strong bonito aroma that lingered pleasantly. The aroma of the shiso and yuzu complemented the soup beautifully. The noodles were slightly dry and soft, but not in an unpleasant way. They had a classic egg noodle texture and were delicious. The egg, which I initially thought was just for show, was surprisingly flavorful, with a broth-like essence that seemed to seep out from within. The other ingredients were also decent. The roast pork rice for 150 yen was tempting due to its low price, but it wasn't essential. The dumplings were large and looked delicious, but at 150 yen each, they felt a bit pricey. When dipped in soy sauce, they didn't release much broth, leaving me feeling a bit cheated. However, when eaten with salt and pepper, they had an addictive flavor! While the prices are a bit high for a tourist area like Asakusa, the food itself is undeniably good, making it worth a visit.

This popular restaurant is known for its traditional atmosphere and classic shoyu ramen. The interior is retro and Japanese-style, with counter seating on the first floor and tables on the second. It's a popular spot for tourists, especially those visiting Asakusa, as it's a great addition to their sightseeing itinerary. The restaurant is welcoming to international visitors with English menus and vegan ramen options. I visited on a Sunday around noon and had to wait about 20 minutes for a table. They took my order while I waited, and I opted for the special ramen and Japanese-style gyoza. The gyoza comes in a serving of three, but they're large and satisfying. They also accept PayPay for payment.

A popular restaurant on Denpo-in Street. I tried to go there before, but there was a line outside and I gave up. This time, I was lucky enough to get in without waiting. I ordered the "En Tama Ramen." The thin noodles and the light, yuzu-flavored soup were delicious.

I visited around 2 pm on a Saturday in mid-August. There's a reception counter right when you enter the shop, so you order and pay upfront. They accept PayPay. Since there were 5 of us, we were seated on the second floor. The second floor had tables, so it was a bit cramped, but we all enjoyed the delicious food! The ramen was elegant. My friend's child, who is from Taiwan, also seemed to enjoy it and finished their bowl.
