OIZUMIGAKUEN: Chuka Soba (Ramen) KigaRa for perfection... wow 32 year old ramen owner chef makes an amazing bowl of Gyokai Ramen!! (iPhone 12 Mini)


I love ramen but attend to only try and eat it once in a while because its heavy on the carbs but on this day I was helping out a friend with some painting and he offered to take me out for some ramen lunch. We arrived to this hidden away ramen spot called KigaRa... think the Ra is for Ramen


Friend suggested I try the Gyokai (fish broth) Ramen 850 yen.


This is one of the most famous noodle makers in Tokyo that supplies so many ramen shops. 

Chef got a Trader Joes gift from his relative in the US.  I assumed he lived there.



Small table seating for only 6 people... I assume its due to social distancing.
Lots of great American hits on the BGM.

What a beauty!  A little portion of green veggies, purple onion and a slice of holy raddish?


The broth was my favorite heavy type that clings to the noodles... it was as good as it looked.  Absolutely loved this bowl and the noodles had a nice chewy texture.  We later talked to the chef and he was a very friendly younger guy... hope he expands to other areas in Tokyo! If  you dont mind the train ride and walk definitely go go!!
