Kawagoe, Saitama, Japan｜麺匠 清兵衛

Best ramen I had during my trip to Tokyo. It was better than ichiran and afuri, which was popular among tourists. The meat melts in the mouth, and the soup tasted so good. It was the best meat I had. Not to mention the price was very affordable. The staff was very kind even though they can't communicate well in English and we can't understand Japanese. They tried their best to understand us and pay extra attention to us since we can't understand japanese. Highly recommended ramen if you are nearby. Thank you so much

Serious question: Can you really NOT enjoy a freshly made bowl of ramen? In my experience, it's been quite rare to find one I didn't enjoy. Anyways, the tonkotsu ramen was awesome. Noodles firm, not overly mixed with spice, though I could've gotten a shoyu version if I wanted it lighter, and the overall atmosphere and experience was spot on.

Fantastic ramen spot right next to the Kawagoe station. Not really foreign friendly in that there is no English menu or other assistance available. Their specialty is chicken ramen which they'll do in a heavy or light broth. The light broth was amazing. Ordering is done on a vending machine but everything is in Japanese with no pictures for assistance.
