Ryogoku... aka Sumo Town! I've been in Japan quite a while and it was the first time to exit at Ryogoku Station. Got on the iPhone to check out Japans favorite foodie site for area rankings. With a score of 3.63 I had to give Ramen MaruTama a try!
Salt (Shio) based ramen soup but something very unique... topping is a form of seaweed called Aosa. Its a very fine seaweed that has a very light flavor... a nice blend with the Shio-Ramen soup. MENU with photo's so you don't need to worry about any Kanji... just point. I went for the one in the center.
Ordered the Aosa-Tamago-Iri (Aosa with flavored boiled egg)... excellent! I always feel guilty to eat Ramen but this seemed very healthy. For a die hard Tonkotsu heavy flavored ramen fan this was surprisingly good.
Counter seating for about 8 and two small tables for groups of 4-5.
If you are checking out Sumo or the Sumo Museum in the area then sneak away for some Aosa Ramen... this place is well worth a try!
