Ramen restaurant • 2-chōme-28-8 Nakano, Nakano City, Tokyo 164-0001, Japan
"Nakano Kun-chan Ramen," which opened in Nakano, Tokyo in 2023, has been gaining attention as a popular "chan" style ramen shop in the city. The charm of this shop lies in its overwhelmingly cost-effective and voluminous servings.
'Chan' style ramen is characterized by 'soup filled to the brim,' 'freshly cut chashu,' 'the pinnacle of ramen rice,' and 'medium-thick, hand-kneaded, high-hydration noodles.' Kun-chan Ramen embodies this definition, with soup filled to the brim and thick, freshly cut chashu stacked generously.
The noodles are medium-thick, hand-kneaded noodles with a wheaty flavor, offering a chewy and strong texture. When you order, you can enjoy a superb combination called "ramen rice" by adding free rice and pouring chashu and soup over it.
The most popular Chuka Soba ramen is priced at 750 yen. The secret to its cost-effectiveness lies in the ability to enjoy a voluminous ramen at this price. The soup has a powerful flavor, and the satisfaction level is high, earning popularity as a 'much-needed local shop' among the locals.
By the way, rice refills are free. In addition, you'll get free cabbage and cucumber on the side, making it the ultimate in volume.
Nakano Kun-chan Ramen, with its simple seasoning, perfectly combines chewy noodles, thickly cut chashu, and brimming soup. It's a bowl that is likely to become even more popular in the future. Why not pay a visit and see for yourself?
