Tenka no Daishogun

Some diners say adding free ginger to the ramen leaves the robust broth with a cleaner, more refreshing finish. At Tenka no Daishogun, you can adjust the garlic, ginger, fat and vegetables, from none to a much larger portion. Keep the vegetables modest or add more to suit your appetite.

People who have tried the classic ramen praise the way its chewy, thick noodles pair with the broth; one also noted the accents of fried onion and fish powder. Another diner ordered the ramen with 200g of noodles and extra portions of all the toppings, and particularly enjoyed the chopped onion. You could start with the classic bowl, customised to taste, or try the mentaiko butter and shiso mazemen, which comes recommended with spicy fried bits, onion and extra mayonnaise.

Beyond mazemen, the menu lists pork ramen and Tkm Tamago Kake Men, whose name suggests noodles topped with egg. Summer options include chilled Chinese noodles with pork shabu-shabu and chilled tomato salsa, offering an alternative to the hearty ramen. The restaurant is listed as serving lunch and as suitable for solo dining. Payment is cash only, so come prepared.
