    Best for

    A late-night Azabu-Juban fixture since 1990, opening at 21:00 and serving until 5:00 behind its yellow sign with its illustration of a skinhead man. It was set up to be a ramen shop women would feel comfortable walking into, and it remains a local after-hours favourite.

    Late-Night Ramen (らーめん)

    An Instagram snippet mentions temporary hours of 11:00–21:00 (July 2026), but the same post's title says 21:00–5:00. Hotpepper and Tabelog both list 21:00–5:00, which was used; the root may want to recheck. A Facebook page (RamenTakumi) exists but was not verified as the shop's own, so it is not linked. Hotpepper puts the price at ¥2,000–2,999 per person, but a Yahoo listing shows ramen around ¥900–1,000, so Under ¥1,000 was used. Shoyu broth is assumed; no source states it.
