Fukunoken Akihabara — Restaurant in Tokyo

If you’re in Akihabara and craving an authentic Japanese ramen experience, look no further than Fukunoken. This quaint little ramen shop might have a limited menu, but it proves that when you focus on doing a few things exceptionally well, the results can be extraordinary.
