Ramen restaurant • 2-chōme-8-1 Honmachi, Shibuya City, Tokyo 151-0071, Japan
Menya Kikyou Hachidai Honten is nestled in a back alley of Hachidai, Tokyo. This small shop boasts a strong local following as a renowned tsukemen restaurant.
The specialty of this shop is the generous amount of noodles paired with a rich and flavorful dipping broth made from fish and pork bone. Customers can choose from regular (340g), large (510g), and extra-large portions (680g), all at the same attractive price point.
The dipping broth harmoniously combines the richness of pork bone soup with the umami of seafood, delivering a perfectly balanced flavor with a rounded, smooth taste. It pairs exceptionally well with medium-thick straight noodles, ensuring a delightful experience until the last bite.
The interior features only a small counter and table seats, creating a modest yet clean and inviting atmosphere. The foreign staff members, including the owner, engage customers with the energetic hospitality typical of a ramen shop.
Handmade, high-quality toppings such as thinly sliced pork belly, seasoned soft-boiled egg, bamboo shoots, green onions, and seaweed are also offered.
This shop offers the novelty of traditional number-based ordering, adding an extra touch of elegance to the overall experience. With its understated excellence, it truly embodies the artisan spirit and stands as an exceptional establishment.
