Fukuwauchi Shinjuku Akebonobashi

Fukuwauchi Shinjuku Akebonobashi is a classic ramen shop. We ordered the ramen, which had a delicious, thick broth paired with self-made noodles. Ordering was easy with their coin-only machine, and they had another machine to exchange 1000 yen notes.

Loved this place! We kind of walked in randomly, looking for a quick Ramen dinner in the evening. The broth was rich and tasty, but my personal highlight was the noodles: they were thick and just that bit chewy and very clearly self-made. The owner was also super helpful: we were lacking the necessary change for the machine to order, and he changed money for us.

As we were only staying in Tokyo for a short period of time, we could not come again, and I could not try the curry noodles people are talking about in the comments. If you're reading this and you are close by, definitely give it a shot, you won't regret it! And try the curry noodles for me 😉

Self made thick noodles with very rich and delicious dipping sauce. Recommend the curry or the original flavour dipping sauce. They also sell ramen. I tried the special ramen and it’s very good. Chef will ask either to serve with 200g or 300g of noodles. 200g is enough even for a man!! The order machine didn’t show any English menu but your can show the picture of the food and ask for help from the friendly chef. Kindly remember to prepare coins or 1000 yen notes to change for coin if you wan to order ~ Prices is 900 ~ 1200 yen. Will surely come back again with friends. And do take notes that only have 5 seatings in the store!
