⭐️Ramen House Konjiki Hototogisu⭐️ Score: 80 Appearance: 🔶🔶🔶🔸 Broth: 🔶🔶🔶🔶🔸 Noodle Texture: 🔶🔶🔶🔸 Ingredients: 🔶🔶🔶🔸 🍜 Located on the 3rd floor of IFC in Central, it is not difficult to find.

If you’re here for a quick bowl of high-quality, creative ramen and don’t mind the modest serving size, it’s worth a visit. But for a more satisfying and welcoming ramen experience, there are certainly other options in the city...
