Toshima City, Tokyo, Japan｜Ikkakuya

Ikebukuro is full of iekei ramen joints and this might be the smallest I've been in: the classic long, cramped counter. Oh, but it's worth it, a richly flavored broth that sticks to the thick noodles and soaks into the nori. Free rice, too, which I always dump into the broth when I'm done to create a porky, garlicky slush.

Small and traditional ramen restaurant. You could choose your preference of noodle hardness, soup oiliness and thickness. English and Chinese instructions are available.

Small lovely place, in comparison to other Ramen/Noodle places nearby it's a little bit more expensive, but still totally worth it, but you can get Oil Noodles there, something you can't get everywhere. Have been here for a second time and tried the Ramen, they are also very very delicious with a perfect egg. I can highly recommend this place.
