Rokurinsha

Asakusa & Sumida River


Rokurinsha's speciality is tsukemen – ramen noodles served on the side with a bowl of concentrated soup for dipping. The noodles here are thick and perfectly al dente and the soup has a rich tonkotsu (pork bone) base. It's an addictive combination that draws lines to this outpost in Tokyo Sky Tree Town.

There's also a branch at Tokyo Rāmen Street under Tokyo Station.
