If you get lost in Takadanobaba, you may never want to leave. Just ask this guy. Arguably lost in one of the best ramen regions of Tokyo, Yatai Ramen Takaryu is a refreshing gem that stands out from the others. Located in the shadows of Ramen Jiro, Takaryu is most known for their "Paichee Men"--a white chicken specialty. It's a clear salt-based novelty that may not blow your mind, but still open your eyes. Especially since there's so much signage to read. If you're looking for something clean and different, definitely stop by. You'll be happy.
From Takadanobaba Station take the Waseda exit and head West. It's about a five minute walk down Waseda-dori. Once you see the Ramen Jiro on your right, make a left into the small street and then a quick right. You should see it on your left. If you miss it or it's too crowded (which I doubt) don't worry there's plenty of others to choose from.

ReplyDeleteBrian and I just ate here on Monday! It was great!
ReplyDeleteCool! So I hear it was hot that day. Did one of you try the tsukemen?
ReplyDeleteThe crazy good looking tsukemen bowl was limited to 10 a day... sold out!
ReplyDeleteHi Keizo,
ReplyDeleteVery nice. That White Chicken Ramen looks *so* good. I'm living vicariously through your posts. (^_~) Whenever I get homesick for real Ramen, I'll tune in here and look at more of your pics and read about the next great Ramen-ya you ate it. (;_;) Hehehe. Thanks.
