    Best for

    A tiny one-man shop between Kanda and Iwamotocho whose sign is literally blank, so it is known as 'Mumei' (nameless). Its signature is unlike anything else: a thick vegetable-potage soup topped with an aged soy-sauce paste that slowly melts in, served with flat medium-thick noodles.

    Neri-Joyu Ramen (練り醤油らーめん)

    Status check: one listing site (san-tatsu) labels it 【閉店】 without a date, but Tabelog shows no closure mark, the Hotpepper page is live, and an Instagram post describes a visit near the end of last year; treated as open. Please confirm. The shop's name is officially a blank 『 』, written 無銘. Price ~850円 (Hotpepper budget).
