The Nishi-Azabu main store of Aka Noren, which has numerous branches in Tokyo, has been preserving its unchanged taste since its opening in 1978. The rich pork bone soup originating from the original Hakata and the thin straight noodles are the signature menu items, allowing you to enjoy the traditional Hakata ramen in a calm interior that evokes the downtown atmosphere of Roppongi.
This shop, which is open all night, is also popular for its specialty gyoza. The sweet and soft texture of the filling is a distinctive feature, and it is highly valued as a snack after an izakaya tour or a late-night drink. The addictive flavor explains why many repeat customers visit.
Located about a 10-minute walk from Roppongi Station, you can access the place leisurely while feeling the downtown atmosphere of Azabu. The price for a bowl of ramen is reasonable at 850 yen, and the gyoza comes in a set for 450 yen, making it affordable. Despite being in a high-end area of Tokyo, the pricing is reasonable.
At this place where the vestiges of the downtown area remain, you can experience the origin of Hakata ramen at the Nishi-Azabu main store of Aka Noren. The flavor backed by the essence of pork bone soup and history promises to remind you of the past.
