Iekei Ramen Bushoya

This is the popular main branch of a Musashiya-affiliated Iekei ramen shop, known for its constant long queues in Akihabara. Its rich and flavorful tonkotsu shoyu soup is mild and easy to eat, pairing perfectly with Sakai Seimen's medium-thick straight noodles. It operates on a 'buy first' system: purchase your meal ticket from the vending machine before joining the queue. Once seated, you can verbally specify your preferences for noodle firmness, soup richness, and amount of oil. While it's cash-only and there's no English menu, you can still enjoy the classic Iekei experience by pairing the tabletop pickles and condiments with rice.
