Ichiyoken Description
If there's one ramen shop that stands out in a country renowned for its culinary expertise, it's Ichiyoken. Highly recommended by locals and tourists alike, Ichiyoken isn't just a ramen shop – it's an experience.
Diners universally hail its taste as unparalleled. Having tasted numerous ramen bowls across Japan, many find that nothing comes close to what Ichiyoken offers. The ramen here doesn't just satiate your hunger; it captivates your palate.
What makes Ichiyoken so exceptional? Their signature lies in the pork bone broth. This isn't your average broth; It is a creamy concoction that wraps itself smoothly around homemade noodles, setting the standard for what tonkotsu ramen should be.
The Kaedeka soup's consistency can be adjusted to your preference, be it thick or thin. For those with a penchant for spices, the spicy miso offers a unique blend of heat and an unexpected touch of sweetness, while the Korean ginseng vinegar packs a flavorful punch.
Noodles are an art at Ichiyoken. Their homemade variety ensures a perfect consistency, harmonizing with the rich broth. The menma (bamboo shoots) offer an authentic, thick texture that adds another layer of complexity to the dish. But it's not just the noodles that shine. The char siu, especially the rare large cuts, is so good that many believe it justifies the price on its own.
Despite its modest size, the shop's popularity is evident in the persistent queue outside. This level of patronage is hardly surprising for a 4-star establishment that's brushing the heights of a 5-star rating. The shop's ambiance complements its culinary offerings. Regulars note that ever since its inception, Ichiyoken has been immaculately maintained, always clean, and free from any overpowering smells.
Ichiyoken is where the essence of Japanese culinary craftsmanship meets a passion for flavors and an unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction.

I'm in the neighborhood so I visit from time to time. A delicious ramen with a creamy pork bone soup that has no odor and is coated smoothly with homemade noodles. The authentic and thick texture of menma gives an impact to the soup and noodles.

Special Black Menma ¥1,310
It's my first visit
The medium-thick homemade noodles have a chewy texture and are very delicious.
I think you can drink the pork bone soup cooked in a hagama without much smell.
I also like the feeling of mar oil.
The bamboo shoots have plenty of wood and have a crunchy texture that is satisfying to eat.
Thank you for your meal
