I’m not a huge fan of ramen but, this place Rocks.
I went there for dinner at 7 on a Friday night and had to wait about 45 mins but, definitely worth the wait (they don’t take reservations). The Shiomaru Moto Sji is simply the best bowl of ramen I have ever had. If you’re still starving after one bowl, which most are, you can add a kae-dama (another ball of noodles). Now if you are longing for more after a second round, they also allow you to add a third ball of noddles, in which case they will also provide you with extra soup for free (but I would’t do this too often).
The Matcha Brulee (green tea pudding) is a good ending to your meal. Stay away from the fruit in champagne.
