RAMEN TATSUNOYA Shinjuku
RAMEN 龍の家 新宿小滝橋通り店
Best for
Originating in Kurume, Fukuoka, the birthplace of tonkotsu, Tatsunoya Shinjuku stands along Otakibashi-dori as one of Tokyo's most popular tonkotsu institutions. The shop is legendary for its Tsukemen Motsu. Thick chilled noodles arrive beside a piping hot, savory tonkotsu dip infused with flame-charred beef offal (motsu). When the noodles are finished, staff add hot broth and a spoonful of rice to turn the leftover dip into a porridge.
