Shinjuku City, Tokyo, Japan｜Ichigaku - Chicken Tonkotsu

By far the BEST Ramen & Gyoza me and my wife had in Tokyo. So good we came back day after day , after trying a few other places - none compared. We had no waiting time in line, and the food came out in barely 5 minutes. Easily recommended !!!

Incredibly unique and delicious chicken tonkotsu ramen. This place is conveniently located directly outside Yotsuya-Sanchome station. They are also open quite late, which is always a plus. The shop itself is very small, with only about 10 seats or so. Would definitely not recommend for groups. Ordering is done on a ticket machine, with no English but does contain pictures. I ordered the specialty ramen with the "toributa" broth, which is a combination of chicken broth and tonkotsu. The broth is very smooth and creamy, and the entire bowl is covered in this very fine foam which is made with the broth and adds a very unique and creamy texture to the overall experience. The specialty bowl came with both pork and chicken chashu, which was nice. Very unique and memorable bowl, definitely check this spot out.

No frills ramen store, as typical in Japan. But a ticket near the entrance and hands it to the staff when you're seated. We got the chicken and pork ramen. It's a mixed broth that was amazing..! Creamy and rich, slightly on the salty side but hits the right spot. Flavor is deep and really enjoyable. The ramen came with a char siew that was not too thin and flavored nicely. It's soft and tender. It also had a piece of chicken that was super tender and tasty. Ramen was cooked nicely, slight bite to it and not too soft. Slurping it with the soup is just heavenly. Overall amazing food and experience.
