Enji - 渋谷

If you're looking for a traditional dipping ramen and traditional Japanese ramen shop atmosphere, this is the place you should visit if you come to Nakano station area. Walk out from north gate, and make a right, you'll see this ramen shop right at the first corner. Their dipping ramen offers authentic bonito flavour, and they also serve wheat germ noodles, which is something special that you should try. There's only 5 seats in the entire ramen shop, reserve min. 20 minutes for waiting during dining period of time.

Some mean heat on this one. Be wary. Absolutely delicious though!

Must try. Good vibes and service. Tsukemen is better than Ramen for me. The best experience. The host of the place was so accommodating. Heads up place is small and I compact but really good food. Try the spicy.

When I was still living near Nakano, this place has been my go to spot for tsukemen. Its broth is a very thick and tasy fish base vegetable soup with a thick chunky soft pork meat. You get to choose 2 types of noodles, I normally go with the atsumen. Highly recommend this place. Get the additional aji-tama (flavored egg)

A must-try Tsukemen Shop when you're in Nakano. I was greeted by the pleasant staff who's all smiles. She informed me that this is not a Ramen place, but Tsukemen. (Of course I know, but it seems like a lot went here with different expectations. She helped me choose what to order. 990 Yen for a Tsukemen with Pork. Darn was it sooo tasty! The broth is kinda a mix of pork and fish. It's complex and it tastes delicious! The cold noodles are perfectly cooked, too! It's really not cold, but warm. Just enough for you to dig in right away. The place is kinda small, though. Seats max of 10 I think, so expect a line on meal times.
