Ramen restaurant • 1-chōme-1-11 Higashiueno, Taito City, Tokyo 110-0015, Japan
We will introduce the long-established ramen shop Kumabokko in Shin-Okachimachi, where you can experience the downtown atmosphere of Ueno. This shop has a history of over 60 years and its old-fashioned atmosphere and flavor are the secrets of its popularity.
The specialty of Kumabokko is the authentic ramen served in a flat dish. The staff skillfully transfers the noodles boiled in a large pot to the flat dish, draining the water. This hand-draining method creates an exquisite chewiness and a perfect blending of the soup.
The most popular item is the miso ramen. The sweet and salty miso sauce in a small dish matches perfectly with the rich yet refreshing soup. The sweetness of the green onions is also an accent. The portion is small, but the flavor is concentrated, which is its characteristic.
Inside the shop, you will notice people ordering the large-sized gyoza. Each gyoza is very large, with a chewy outside and a juicy inside, making it an excellent dish. When enjoyed with the garlic-flavored sauce, it becomes an exquisite dish.
One of the charms of Kumabokko is its retro atmosphere. The shop, with its center counter, may not be considered clean, but you can feel the old-fashioned downtown atmosphere with the ongoing work scenes and the bustling regular customers.
If you happen to drop by, you might encounter the taste of 60 years ago. Why not stop by in between sightseeing?
