Nishitokyo, Tokyo, Japan｜吉笑らーめん

Their Ramen was my soul food for a whole year. It's a small shop with a very lively staff. The broth is thicker then other ramen's, while you can choose the "hardness" of the noodles, and various toppings to your delight. The Tsukemen is absolutely my favourite.

Love it. You can also choose large bowl (oomori) for free !

Partly because it's the closest station, but it's like a home-based ramen shop. I think I've been going there for about 3-4 months now, 2-3 times a week. I think it's amazing how delicious the noodles are even though the price doesn't change even if you get a large serving of noodles. No matter which flavor you order, the quality of each cup is so high that you will become a fan. My favorite is black (tonkotsu soy sauce), but the salt is delicious and I can't resist adding butter to miso. You can add as many green onions and mustard greens as you want, and there is a wide variety of seasonings, so there are a lot of variations.Well, the original, which you can eat without adding anything, is so perfect that it doesn't come very often. I only go there at night, but the staff greets me cheerfully and I think it's a pleasant shop.
