Soy-sauce ramen, salt ramen and tsukemen are Japanese-style ramens; dandan noodles and hot-and-sour noodles are Chinese. The combination of both styles in a single bowl is the appeal here. Chef Kazumasa Saito applies his background in Chinese cuisine to full advantage. Dandan noodles with sesame paste and chilli oil is a perennial favourite. If you have room, try the boiled gyoza dumplings and steamed chicken with spicy sauce. In early morning, numbered tickets are distributed for the day.
