: 🍜Seafood Glory, Zero MSG! Taste the Ocean's Bounty at Take-chan Niboshi Ramen!

2025/10/26

This is truly a legendary bowl of ramen that has walked hand-in-hand with the history of Chofu City! The story of Take-chan Niboshi Ramen is an old one, quietly starting from a food cart around 1990. Since then, it has consistently pursued flavor using only natural ingredients (niboshi, katsuobushi, konbu), refusing chemical seasonings, earning its place as Chofu's soul food. The ramen, now served in its location right by Chofu Station and carrying on the founder's legacy, is pure artistry. The perfectly balanced concentration of dried sardine gently wraps around your stomach and soul. The ultimate classic niboshi ramen, perfect ...

A Classic Hit, Remixed! Taste the Legendary 'Sweet, Spicy, Sour' with a Junk Kick! This isn't just a bowl of tsukemen; it's a bold challenge to the legacy of the legendary dipping noodle pioneer, Marucho.

: 🍜Deep Power, Feather-Light Broth: Kanade's Amazing Chicken Paitan in Tachikawa.

2025/10/5

A Culinary Revelation in Tachikawa! Rich yet Refreshingly Light—This Paitan Defies Expectations! Just an eight-minute walk from Tachikawa Station's South Exit, you'll find Kanade, tucked away in a tiny, narrow corner—a true "small triangular area" hideout. Though only offering a cramped counter, this shop has built a massive following thanks to its exquisite chicken broth. While Kanade is popular for its Shōyu (soy sauce) and Shio (salt) Chintan (clear) chicken soups, it was the Chicken Paitan that personally captivated me. What I encountered here was a truly light-style Chicken Paitan. It delivers a rich, solid punch of chicken umami, beautifully ...
