    Best for

    Usagi stands three minutes from Shinsen Station along the backstreets of Shibuya. The kitchen simmers whole free-range chicken, pork marrow bones, and dried seafood including niboshi sardines and bonito flakes. Its signature Shoyu Ramen balances soy salinity with natural sweetness from dried shiitake and konbu kelp. The shop also draws a loyal following for its soupless tantanmen, seasoned with house chili oil, ground sesame paste, and tongue-numbing Sichuan peppercorns.
