Chuka Soba Billiken

Chuka Soba Billiken, located right near Asakusa's Kaminarimon, is a popular shop selected as one of the Ramen Hyakumeiten (Top 100 Ramen Shops). Here you can savor sophisticated shoyu ramen featuring a double soup of duck and chicken, fragrant with black truffle. Ordering is done via a ticket machine, but as it's only in Japanese and lacks photos, first-time visitors might find it a bit confusing. The signature dish is the "Temomi Chuka Soba," and we recommend the "Zenbu Iri" (all toppings deluxe version), found on the top left of the ticket machine. Please note that only cash payments are accepted.

Here's how to order at Chukasoba Billiken: 1. **Before Entering (If there's a queue)** If there's a queue, please line up first. Observe other customers to determine whether to buy your meal ticket before or after entering the shop. 2. **Purchase Meal Ticket / Order** Purchase your meal ticket from the vending machine before taking a seat. Please note that the vending machine only accepts cash and does not have English displays or photos. The top-left button on the vending machine is for the shop's signature menu item, "Tezumi Chukasoba" with all toppings. 3. **Seating & Receiving Your Order** Hand your meal ticket to the staff, take a seat, and wait until your ramen is served.
