    Best for

    A small Kamata-area shop built around 'sara Taiwan', a fiery soupless take on Nagoya's Taiwan ramen learned from Nagoya's Jinsei Gyoza and crowned here with a huge, thick slab of roast pork. It relocated from Hamamatsucho and reopened here in September 2024; chashu fried rice is the other favourite.

    Recommended order

    Chashu Sara Taiwan (チャーシュー皿台湾)

    Tabelog lists it as Taiwanese cuisine; the signature is a soupless 'Taiwan ramen' (noodle dish), so kept as ramen. Moved from 港区浜松町2-5-10 (RamenDB snippet; that old Hotpepper page strJ000806445 is the previous site, not used). Hours from a blog and Retty (Sunday 12:00–15:00 vs 12:30–15:30). An Instagram snippet lists a phone number with a Tochigi area code; ignored.
