Ginza Soryu

Located in Ginza 6-chome, on the first floor of the Maxidopia Building, just a 2-minute walk from Ginza Station C2 Exit and 3 minutes from JR Yurakucho Station, this ramen shop is produced by 'Nogata Hope' and aims for 'a cut above' in quality. It's a precious spot in Ginza to enjoy late-night ramen (shime ramen), open from 11:00 AM to 3:00 AM the next day from Monday to Saturday, and from 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM on Sundays. The three signature 'Oedo Shoyu' (soy sauce) ramens are: 'Oedo Black Shoyu' (1,100 yen), featuring homemade soy sauce and a rich flying fish broth (ago dashi) with medium-thin wavy noodles (chijire-men) and three types of chashu (braised pork belly); 'Oedo White Shoyu' (1,100 yen), with a mellow sweetness from a white soy sauce base made with two types of white soy sauce, shiro tamari, ishiru (fish sauce), and deep sea salt from Tokyo's Izu Oshima island, combined with a clear broth (chintan soup) made from aromatic vegetables; and 'Oedo Burnt Shoyu' (1,180 yen), offering a fragrant, well-burnt soy sauce flavor from lard, with a black ramen-style appearance. Also served are 'Moto Ramen' and 'Ko Ramen', which are part of the Nogata Hope main store lineage. A unique tomato-based menu item, 'Pork Rice' (800 yen), is also a signature dish, described as a pork belly version of chicken rice with a distinctive pizza sauce-like flavor. Toppings are generous, including three types of chashu (pork belly, low-temperature cooked chicken breast, roasted), a soft-boiled egg (hanjuku tamago), bamboo shoots (menma), seaweed (nori), Japanese mustard spinach (komatsuna), green onions, onions, and daikon sprouts (kaiware), a luxurious combination that justifies the price over 1,000 yen. The side dishes, round mochi-like dumplings (maru-mochi gyoza) and perilla leaf dumplings (shiso gyoza), are also popular. Free spicy bean sprout kimchi is available on the tables and can be refilled as many times as you like. There's a special offer of one free drink for LINE friends registration. The interior features a high ceiling and a calm, Japanese modern atmosphere with a total of 28 seats, including 8 counter seats, multiple tables, and sofa seats.
