Toshima City, Tokyo, Japan｜Sharin Ikebukuro south exit shop

Generous portions, tasty and good service

Ordered a soup ramen and the kind where cold noodles are served with a bowl of hot soup and you dip the noodles in there to eat. They serve it with a “perfectly hard-boiled egg”, the kind with flavors deep into the egg but with no ferrous sulfide around the egg yolk. The noodles were chewy, the soup wonderfully flavored, you order everything through a machine out front (after you choose your items, just insert cash), the interior quaint and, well, very Japanese, and the whole meal was significantly better than some of the best places I’ve been to in California’s Bay Area. Five stars.

Maybe take my review with a grain of salt; I'm not an avid pursuer of tsukemen ramen. This place might have turned this style of ramen into my absolute favorite. The broth is rich and the noodles are perfectly cooked. The egg is amazing when I bathe it into the broth. Noodles were very good. I ordered an egg in my ramen as wel as extra pork chashu. Another order for my girlfriend who wanted an egg in the spicy soup. Total? 1800¥ insane. For this kind of meal in other places I would expect $20+. In the states this goes for $30+. 10/10 will make this a stop in my yearly voyages to Tokyo.
