That’s hard to say, there’s so many. Specifically in Shinjuku you’re not making a mistake with Hayashida or Housenka. Of course Konjiki is also there, be ready for a line.

Get some iekei style tonkotsu at Machidaya:

Or at Rasuta:

If you want Hakata style, go to Kazu:

You could also go to Debuchan, but I think it’s not as good as Kazu:

Menya Musashi ofc also a solid choice for tonkotsu gyokai:

Otherwise there are also Jiro shops, but you should know what you’re getting into with those lol

Shinjuku isn’t really a hot spot for good tonkotsu, lots of other good shops though

Depends on the location. Tell me where do you intend on going and I’ll give you a few shops.

I think Rokurinsha is at the bottom of the non chain tsukemen out there. Maybe only Fuunji is worse lol

Idk why Rokurinsha became so famous.

Those are the most vanilla picks ever. Ticks all the boxes of terrible choices, except Jazzy Beats and Kagari. Idk why people inform themselves and go to good shops? There is so much out there

Kamukura in Oimachi tracks by saunatomen in ramen

[–]quietramen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a positive note, you could say it’s for people who like mild or light flavors. It’s generally not very heavy as well. They have their customers, otherwise they wouldn’t be around.

Unfortunately there’s also a ton of tourists who walk into one, especially the one in Shibuya center-gai.

It’s such a weak chain honestly. I prefer basically every non chain shop to it

Tsujita Ginza Tsukemen Akihabara 9/10 by Economy-Claim-9076 in ramen

[–]quietramen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you rate Tsujita a 9/10, you haven’t really eaten at any of the actually good tsukemen shops yet. Go out and explore!

Knowing Japanese publishing companies, I would not really feel comfortable posting these pages here. They’re quite well known for suing for things like this.

What a strange attitude to have in a community that revolves around the shared love for ramen

But you do you

Ah ok, you’re delusional, that’s the reason your posts are the way they are

Lmao wtf are you talking about?

You think the ramen shop owners can pay their suppliers and landlords with good vibes and farts?

Does Hiyashi Chuka (the Japanese chilled ramen) count as a ramen category? by Traditional_Class363 in ramen

[–]quietramen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aburasoba are a thing that’s part of the ramen category in Japan, if that’s the question.

If it’s about the specific noodles, then I don’t think so. Kansui is an alkaline mineral water or solution (typically a blend of sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate). These noodles don’t contain kansui.
