Shinjuku City, Tokyo, Japan｜麺屋酒場桔梗 新宿店

24hrs open. Food is surprisingly very nice and cheap! Must try the spicy tsukemen (hot). Staffs also very entertaining...

I sat at the bar and ate ramen. Everyone was super nice, and the food was awesome.

This is a ramen izakaya with locations in Hatsudai and other areas. Up until now I've only been drinking, but this time I tried salt tsukemen for the first time. It's open 24 hours a day and it's cheap, so I often come here when I don't have anywhere else to go after drinking in Kabukicho, but the tea-mixed sake is so strong that by 8 a.m. I can't remember anything. There's nothing particularly noteworthy about the tsukemen, but the flavor is quite strong, and if you're sober, some people might find it just salty, so when you go to three restaurants and don't remember much about it, The best time to eat. The shops next door called Ao Papaya and Rum are run by the same company, and depending on the season, they also offer raw oysters at a low price, so I recommend them.
