    Operating in Nihonbashi since 1931, Taimeiken is one of Japan's most historic Western dining establishments. Alongside its famous omurice, the first floor serves Tokyo shoyu ramen prepared with French culinary techniques. The kitchen simmers pork bones and whole chickens with mirepoix onions, carrots, and celery, yielding an amber broth poured over fine yellow noodles with roasted pork loin chashu.
