Ramen restaurant • 31-5 Nihonbashihakozakichō, Chuo City, Tokyo 103-0015, Japan
The Nihonbashi area in Tokyo is filled with the charming atmosphere of a downtown area. Do you know the quietly popular shop, Ramenya Ichi, that stands quietly in this area? This small ramen shop is highly popular for its voluminous vegetable ramen.
The popular menu at Ramenya Ichi is the "vegetable ramen," which literally comes with a mountain of vegetables such as cabbage, bean sprouts, and carrots. The visually impressive amount of vegetables is awe-inspiring, but even more appealing is the thick, chewy noodles made through a unique method. The hearty wheat flavor and chewy texture that expands as you chew are perfectly suited for a voluminous bowl.
Another delightful aspect is the "free extra portions" service. It's necessary to brace oneself in the cramped shop, but the value for money is exceptional. It's especially popular among male customers who want to eat heartily, and there's always a line during lunchtime. They also provide paper aprons, allowing customers to fully enjoy their ramen.
There's a pot of garlic chives on each table, and the option to add spiciness according to one's preference is also attractive. The rich soup and vegetable-rich ramen can completely satisfy one's appetite.
Ramenya Ichi is truly a small shop, but it is brimming with charms that exceed its size. The luxurious use of fresh vegetables, firm and thick noodles, and a voluminous bowl, combined with a reasonable price, captivate numerous fans. When strolling through the streets of Tokyo's downtown area, why not pay a visit?
