Kamatama Chukasoba Napoleon-ken — Restaurant in Tokyo

For the last year, Kamatama Chukasoba ramen has on my list of ramen places to visit. After finally visiting it, I am sad to admit that I’m a blooming idiot because they serve a truly fantastic ramen that I could have been eating a number of times throughout the year; but NO, I had to delay. Stupid. Anyhow, the ramen is served kamatama style, which means the noodles are served with a raw egg and a stock infused broth. In addition, I opted to add spicy onions and roasted pork. It was delicious. The noodles were chewy and hearty; the pork was seasoned perfectly; and the mix of onions and egg was delightful. This is a must visit...

Wow. I wasn't expecting that and didn't read anything about this place at all. Just stumbled upon it in my exploration walks in the area.

Their specialty is a like a marriage of mazesoba and jiro ramen in a soupless but rather sauce form. Noodles are enjoyably chewy and firm. The discovery of flavors as I mix the different combinations of condiments in front of me to my bowl are just of different dimensions every single time. I finished it scooping more from the already empty bowl.

One of the very few remaining Ramen joints that are still below JPY1k even if you upsize. A definite must try...

New noodle shop nearby the station. The noodles are chewy and the broth is flavorful. Prices are great, Small: 490, Med: 590, Large:690. You order from a small ticket machine (cash only). Seating is limited to a few counter seats in a very cramped format. On the counter there are dividers between customers during COVID. There are tons of condiments on the counter to add to your noodles. My favorite is to add the fried shallots, the pickled mushroom, garlic and the mushroom oil. YUM. Unclear if you can add additional toppings such as meat, etc.

Make sure to try the inari! Yummy and only ¥250...
