Oudouya Chokkei IEKEI TOKYO operates two minutes from Suehirocho Station as Tokyo's premier destination for hardcore Yokohama Iekei ramen. Founded by master Takashi Shimizu, the kitchen boils massive quantities of fresh pork and chicken marrow bones around the clock. The broth arrives thick, reddish-brown, and savory, balanced with salty soy tare and golden chicken fat. Flat, thick noodles made at Oudouya's factory accompany smoky wood-cured pork slices, spinach, and crispy nori sheets.
