Shinjuku City, Tokyo, Japan｜Ramen Mitsuruya

Found this gem next to our hotel in Shinjuku. Tsukemen was awesome! If you've ever ate at Ramen Manrai, this is almost the same recipe and flavor without the large portions. Enjoyed every bite of the soy based broth and the perfect textured noodles. Very clean and bright atmosphere. The chef was very friendly and like all chefs in Japan, showed true care for his craft. We went a couple of hours before closing and no one else was there, awesome for us to truly enjoy the food and ambience. Will be returning on our next trip to Japan.

When we were staying in Tokyo, my son and I discovered this place just around the corner from where we were staying. I enjoyed it, but my son loved it so much that he went back for lunch almost every single day for the entire month that we were there. We even got spotted on google street view waiting for it to open the last day. ;-)

Very good classic shoyu ramen. Friendly!
