Komae, Tokyo, Japan｜Chūkasoba Shibata

It’s great taste. The type of ramen is “chuka”. You have to walk more than 10mins from the station. Most of the passenger is Japanese. You need to wait if you come weekend or lunchtime.

It is a very unique ramen, use a more western way to make their char siu, salty and dry. Combine with the soy soup base, is different enjoyment to other Ramen. The rice dish is another highlight, the shiitake gives a full aroma for finishing. Overall, fantastic stuff.

Fell in love with this ramen! The soup was so special! I took a basic one(soy sauce and chicken broth), and the marriage of broth and oil was perfect. And also the char-siu chicken was so tender and tasty. I completely agree with that this shop is placed 1st rank in the ranking of the most familiar online reviews in Japan as a ramen shop. It opens at 11am, so we got in the queue at 10:30, and there were already around 10 ppl waiting.
