About

Nishikawa sits in the quiet residential streets of Kinuta, between Chitose-Funabashi and Soshigaya-Okura, and opens only for lunch from Wednesday to Sunday. The draw is a powerful niboshi soup with real depth, paired with thick slices of chashu seared with a torch just before serving. It is a destination shop rather than a convenient one, which keeps its line full of genuine ramen fans and keeps it on Tabelogs Ramen 100 list.
