Ramen restaurant • 2-chōme-10-3 Nihonbashi, Chuo City, Tokyo 103-0027, Japan
Away from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo, in a quiet alley that retains the old-fashioned atmosphere of Ginza, stands the first branch of the long-established ramen shop 'Masutani' originating from Kyoto. With a history dating back to the 23rd year of the Meiji period, the soy sauce fragrance emanating from the entrance has a nostalgic elegance.
The highly recommended dish is the 'Kujoninegi Ramen' topped with green onions. The soup is an exquisite blend of chicken broth and soy sauce, with a distinctive triple-layer structure consisting of sweetness in the upper layer, umami of soy sauce in the middle layer, and spiciness in the lower layer. The thin noodles intertwine with the soup, spreading the umami and aroma throughout the mouth.
The calm wooden counter seats resemble an adult's hidden retreat. In an elegant atmosphere, one can savor the ramen slowly. It is also delicious to add the free rice provided and turn it into a porridge-style dish. Why not spend a special moment at this place where the elegance of the ancient capital and the sophistication of the city blend together?
