The restaurant's signature dish is, of course, its miso ramen. After purchasing a meal ticket and handing it over, customers are asked if they would like extra vegetables or garlic and if they would like to add a side order of rice. The restaurant's extra thick noodles go well with the broth and have a slightly hard, chewy texture. Topped with crisp vegetables, the establishment's hearty miso ramen is truly exquisite. Situated along a small, nondescript narrow lane a five minute walk from Ikebukuro Station traveling towards Sunshine-dori Avenue, the restaurant can be identified by its yellow sign out front.
