    Best for

    Founded in 2005 by former Italian chef Kazuo Ishizuka, this Ichigaya shop is known for its golden shio broth of chicken bones, kombu and scallop, and for the cheese-covered 'ramen fromage'. Finish the cheese bowl by adding brown rice to the leftover soup as a risotto, or try the famously sour lemon ramen.

    Good to know & entry protocol

    Right by Exit A3 of Ichigaya Station (JR, Tokyo Metro and Toei lines). Open all day, every day. The calm red-and-white interior feels more café than ramen shop. Order the ramen fromage and add the rice at the end for a risotto finish; the lemon ramen is very sour.
