Meguro City, Tokyo, Japan｜Kitchen Troquet

Have you ever tried Italian-Japanese fusion ramen? Go to this hidden gem of a place in Nakameguro. I found myself coming back to this place many times. They have a very generous serving, I counted at least 4 kinds of mushrooms in my bowl, for example. I suggest waiting until you see how big the bowls are before ordering any side dishes. Super cute hand-drawn menu. "Ohime Special" is highly recommended (and my usual go-to). For two people, we only paid 2500yen (including tax) for dinner tonight.

This small place is truly spectacular! The unique combination goes incredibly well. Everything has a slight unusual twist (pesto has walnuts, mussels have lentils in the broth) that is just right and a bit different. Small place, looks like a place you don't want to enter from the outside but the cook is great!

If you are a ramen purist or an Italian purist you probably don't want to come here, but for the rest of us, the tomato four-cheese ramen is a completely insane bowl of gooey awesomeness.
