Ramen restaurant • 3-chōme-4-10 Kiyosumi, Koto City, Tokyo 135-0024, Japan
Kiyosumi Shirakawa, where the old downtown atmosphere of Tokyo lingers, is a charming town where you can enjoy a leisurely stroll. 'Toukou Ramen', quietly standing in this serene residential area, is a beloved ramen shop among the locals.
The essence of Toukou's flavor lies in the carefully and slowly simmered rich tonkotsu soup. Even though it's a simple salt ramen, it spreads a deep and complex umami throughout the mouth. It pairs excellently with thick straight noodles, allowing you to enjoy it to the last bite without getting tired.
Once you fully enjoy the flavor of the soup, pay attention to the char siu (roast pork). The thick, crispy pork belly adds a nice accent to the ramen.
The interior is a simple setting with rustic counter seats, but the flavor of the ramen is authentic. Not only is it known for its familiar taste among the local office workers and businessmen in the vicinity of Kiyosumi Shirakawa, but also among ramen enthusiasts.
In addition to the familiar flavors, the lineup of unique ramen menus such as miso and vegetable ramen is also appealing. Pair it with juicy chicken wings, and you'll enjoy it even more.
The prices are reasonable, and the portions are substantial, making it highly cost-effective. Whether stopping by between sightseeing or not, visiting Toukou Ramen is well worth it. It can be considered a hidden gem where you can fully enjoy assured flavors in a quiet location away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
