About

Chef Atsushi Yamamoto opened in Hatagaya in 2006 and moved to Shinjuku 2-chome, where the shop held a Michelin star before moving to Bib Gourmand. The bowls are refined and aromatic: hamaguri clam and sea bream dashi blended with pork and chicken, seasoned with shio or shoyu and topped with black truffle sauce, porcini oil and delicate chashu. A small, quiet counter with a ticket machine; the restaurant now has branches abroad but the Shinjuku shop is the original.

Highlights

Hamaguri clam and sea bream broth, bright and deep at once
Truffle and porcini accents unusual for ramen
Michelin recognition (Star, later Bib Gourmand)
Near Shinjuku Gyoen, ideal after a garden visit

Tips

Order the shio with ajitama (seasoned egg), the classic
Queue forms 30 min before opening; weekday afternoons are easier
Hours shift occasionally, check the shop's social media before going
