A new shop serving up creamy toripaitan soup? I'm there!
Imamura is located just around the block from Tsuta, the Michelin starred shop in Sugamo. And while Tsuta is in a rather shady neighborhood, across the street from some short-rest love hotels, Imamura is right in the middle of a brothel alley.
Just outside the window is one of the many shops. 3000 yen to enter.
Well, for less than a third of that price, you can get a solid bowl of creamy chicken soup ramen, served with some freshly grilled chicken chashu. The shop master, Imamura-san, is there shaking noodles, serving soup, and manning the grill.
The bowl here is spiked with niboshi, dried baby sardines that add a smoky kick to the mix, and a lot of umami.
Awesome egg!
It's a decent bowl on Tokyo's north side. Check it out if you are, ummm, in the neighborhood.

Are a lot of shops opening in Sugamo/Otsuka area to be close to Tsuta, etc.?

I really wonder did the owner got a break on rent to open a ramen-ya at this location.
