Description

A branch of the tonkotsu ramen chain, in the basement of the HK Asakusa Building a few steps from Ginza Line exit 8. It has ten seats in the solo booths the chain calls the flavour concentration counter, and thirty-eight table seats, so you can eat alone behind a partition or sit with other people.

The shop serves one bowl of ramen and lets you adjust it: richness, garlic, spring onion, the strength of the red sauce, and how firm the noodles are. Opening at 9:00 means it is also one of the few places in Asakusa where you can eat ramen in the morning.

Good to know

  • The shop can stop seating people before last orders when it is busy, even though the door is still open.
  • The same building holds two more late-night places: Warawara on the 3rd floor and Mekiki no Ginji on the 4th.
