Located on the ground floor of Tokyu Stay Ikebukuro, this outpost serves the celebrated clam ramen of Michelin Bib Gourmand flagship Kohaku. The broth extracts rich succinic acid sweetness from fresh Yamato shijimi clams harvested at Lake Shinji in Shimane Prefecture. Pale mineral salt highlights the savory clarity of the shellfish stock. Thin square-cut noodles from Kyoto's Menya Teigaku complement the soup alongside tender pork shoulder chashu and diced purple onions.
