This ramen joint is exceptional, serving the best ramen in Japan. I’ve tried countless ramen restaurants all over the nation; Tsujita NihonbashiNingyocho blows them all out of the water!!! The firm noodles, chunky meat, delicious broth… you name it, it’s flawless jouissance in bowls; I’m bowled-over, stunned, completely floored by their consistent perfection. Being a fussy demanding professional chef, my taste buds now refuse to eat ramen elsewhere. It’s so good that I choose my hotel close to this place just for their ramen. Naysayers probably downgrade it ‘cuz the cooks/staff are foreigners; well, these gaijin dudes have beat the locals in their own game. Kudos to the management for hiring a brilliant team; apropos, the waitress is a gem with top-notch customer service. Only if the musak was thrown out the window since it’s become my earworm; but hey, we come here for the ramen, not to boogie woogie. In short, these guys are absolute legends of...
Read moreThis Tsukemen restaurant has been in my Saved Spots for a while. I always want to visit it and this July eventually granted me an opportunity.

I would’ve almost given this place five stars if it weren’t for the kids running around me while I was eating. Overall, a solid and...
Read moreThe classification as a ramen restaurant is wrong. This is a tsukemen restaurant.
Although the recipe is derived from ramen, the noodles come apart from the broth. You are supposed to dip the noodles into the broth. This makes sure the noodles won't get soggy.
I had an amazing experience. The broth was thick with a very strong taste of smoky pork. It reminds me of the smoky pork soup back home.
I strongly advise you to follow the instructions they give you to eat the tsukemen. It elevates the dining to a whole new experience. The flavour changes significantly. It's like having 4 dishes in one.
The menu is a little bit difficult to understand for foreigners even tho it's also in English. Of course, the staff will help you if you don't understand something.
I will...
