Ota City, Tokyo, Japan｜Ramen Hiiki

Very refined Iekei tonkotsu shoyu! This is definitely the best Iekei ramen shop you can find in Tokyo, and probably one of the best in Japan. I read that most Iekei shops use one pot and steep every ingredient together. Hiiki, on the other hand, uses two pots to ensure optimal cook time on different ingredients. I really recommend adding the iwanori, or rock seaweed, as a topping (and maybe a side of rice to eat with the leftover broth too :P).

The best Iekei ramen I had in Tokyo. These guys have truly refined Iekei ramen. The broth was very powerful and complex with a very savory shoyu tonkotsu taste. This was further enhanced when adding the crushed raw garlic available at the table. The deluxe bowl comes with two types of chashu, both of which were tender and flavorful. The egg in this bowl is incredible. Perfect consistency, tons of flavor. Definitely a must stop if you are in Tokyo.

Great ramen place. Arrived around 1430 on a Saturday and had a bowl in front of me a little past 1500. Very salty soup with a nice taste overall. Only negative is no beer.
