Ramen restaurant • 2-chōme-17-20 Narimasu, Itabashi City, Tokyo 175-0094, Japan
In Narimasu, a town overflowing with the charm of downtown Tokyo, stands the signboard of the long-established ramen chain 'Kagetsu Arashi' in a rusted shopping street known as the fiercely competitive ramen district.
As you open the door, the appearance of the master leaps into view across the counter. What he holds is the inherited skills and philosophy passed down from his predecessors. The richly flavored soup, packed with ingredients, is a 'bowl of soul' as if to say, 'More, please.'
I ordered the 'Arashi Genkotsu Ramen' with plenty of ingredients. First, I indulge in the aroma, then enjoy the smooth texture of the noodles, and finally slurp up the rich soup. With a single bowl, all five senses can be enjoyed to the fullest, the epitome of a bowl.
The history of Kagetsu Arashi is long, and the reason it has been continuously supported for many years lies here. Without being swayed by trends, it maintains its unchanged elegance. And yet, the taste is certainly being passed down across generations.
'Raamen Kagetsu Arashi', standing in the back alleys of the fiercely competitive area of Narimasu. A 'bowl of soul' that captures your five senses is waiting for you.
