Mari told me about Keika Ramen's 500yen Tuesday special but I was never lucky enough to wander in front of this ramen spot on a Tuesday... So last night we watched a news segment announcing that Keika Ramen had filed for bankruptcy. Might be our last chance to try it...
About 8 counter seats on the first floor facing the 2 ramen chefs. There is also a 2nd floor.
Went for the 700yen Keika Tonkotsu Ramen. Was expecting this Kumamoto style ramen to be a bit more flavorful and stinky... but it was actually rather light in flavor... and well, boring. The noodles were very al'dente... guess they don't allow you to order the noodle variation (Kata-men, Futsuu, Yawaraka-men).
500yen Tuesdays.
The chef.
Teika Ramen's can be spotted here and there in Tokyo but I'd suggest trying 500yen all day every day Hakata Teijin Ramen. But the experience of sitting shoulder to shoulder with the Japanese at this tiny shop might be memorable. They'll ask you to pay first to have your $$ ready. Oh and there are Photo's of the different ramens too.
