Old-school chashu ramen, Tokyo-style.
The menu here couldn't be more simple. Ramen, spicy ramen, ramen with a mountain of chashu pork, and spicy ramen with a mountain of chashu pork.
I was happy to visit with a group of travelers from my Airbnb tour, and introduce them to a tiny spot in a seedy part of town that most foreigners wouldn't dream of visiting.
Go for the 800 yen chashu bowl, it is a thing of beauty.
Rich, niboshi-spike broth with fat noodles. The bowl here is full of fat and carbs, and one of the most photogenic in Tokyo if I say so.
It's a lot of pork, so if you go with a friend, maybe split it and get one of each.
Not a bad line, though you might wait a few minutes around the lunch rush.
