Kita City, Tokyo, Japan｜Akabane Ramen Iki

Excellent ramen, tried the ネギチャーシューメン with the thick noodles. The gyoza are very good too.

Amazing ramen! Full range of condiments! Add the ginger, garlic, chili oil, chili paste, vinegar, and pickles. Cost is about $9-$10.

This is a ramen shop that I often stop by when I go to Akabane. It's always full at lunchtime, but I wondered if the timing was good on this day. There are counter seats and table seats for four in the back. The style is to buy a meal ticket first and then sit down. (Previously, you would pay at the cash register after eating, but at some point it was replaced with a ticket machine.) You can get rice for free. I rotate between soy sauce, salt, and occasionally miso depending on how I feel that day, and all of them are delicious. However, I especially like the soy sauce thick noodles. I like to eat salt with thin noodles. Since water is self-service, it is a style to go get it yourself. I often see women who come to the store alone. The shop is easy to enter.
