Shibuya City, Tokyo, Japan｜Santouka Harajuku

Super underrated ramen experience! Hidden away in an alley away from the crowded streets of Harajuku! Wanted to give this a try as we enjoyed its branch in Singapore and this was mind blowing! I had the limited edition tan tan sauce ramen and it was AWESOME. I've to be honest and say that we weren't expecting much because the shop looks pretty run down and was quite empty when we visited but boy, did the old man running the store served up some magic. Highly recommend to sit by the counter where you can see them prepare the ramen behind the scenes. From the skilful cooking of noodles to slicing up the pork cheeks. The ramen noodles were cooked perfectly aldente and complements the soup beautifully! I'd even say that I enjoyed this much more than Ippudo. A must visit if you love pork cheeks!

Very good noodle and soup. Prepare to line up since very small inside.

Hidden in an alley in Harajuku. The spicy dipping noodles are the best.
