Hokkaido Ramen Misokuma Okachimachi Ekimae — Restaurant in Tokyo

Line at the duck ramen was too long, so I thought I’d look around (I’m in Japan, ramen = unlimited options!)

Found this little gem. Small and cozy, plays lo-fi with counter and booth seatings. Staff was very friendly and all the self-service items are stocked and organized.

Onto the food.

I ordered a meal set: hokkaido miso ramen with just chasu and fried rice, and 6-pc karaage. Karaage had a tad soy sauce taste, which is pleasant to me as I do enjoy sweet/savory fried chicken l.

All in all, I’d definitely recommend this over hyped places like Ichiran and Kamo to negi if the line...

With the GBP/Yen exchange rate, it ended being a hearty meal for a total of £7.00 between us, we'd have happily paid twice that. It is a no-frills place, it's not a flash restaurant, it's just a restaurant that does amazing food and the young lady doing the front of house and delivering the food was a trooper (who helpfully had a good command of the...

A reliable supper place in the middle of the night!

Arrived at 12am and there was a short queue. I really liked the fact that I could order the noodles in small portion in exchange for a free basic side - I went with beansprouts. Went with the extra chashu miso bowl - the soup was warm and tasty, though not as strong as I'd hoped. Noodles were so-so, and chashu was delicious but slightly cold. Food quality wise just average, but giving 4 stars for the customizability.

Service was friendly and my ramen came in 10 minutes. Overall an acceptable experience. Nothing beats ramen in...
