Kitaotsuka Ramen

This place prob has one of the best chashumen in Tokyo. Fatty and packed with calories, but incredibly delicious. For some reason, it doesn't feel as heavy as a thicc tonkotsu bowl imo. Despite the recent renovations, the space inside the shop is incredibly small, making it really hard to get in and out without bumping to other customers backs and belongings...

Been wanting to try this place but could never get there fast enough after work. Love the thick noodles, and the chashu-men comes with a generous layer of tender pork. Aside from the egg, there weren't a lot of other toppings, and the broth was tasty but kind of one-note. Would happily eat it again, though, especially for the price.

If you crave an extremely comforting bowl of old school ramen, look no further. This place serves some of the nicest chashu-men (ramen with loads of pork) I ever had. While the regular ramen is nice and all, the chashu-men is really the bowl to go for. The pork meat is just so tender and juicy and as you can judge by my photo, plentiful. Noodles and broth make this an excellent slurp. Two minutes walking to Otsuka Yamanote station and hardly any queues.
