Iekei Ramen Bushoya Gaiden
家系ラーメン 武将家 外伝
Overview
This is a sister branch of Iekei Ramen Bushoya located in Akihabara. It's less crowded than the main store, making it a hidden gem. The rich tonkotsu shoyu soup is characterized by being slightly lighter and easier to drink compared to typical Iekei ramen. Upon seating, you'll need to verbally inform staff of your preferred noodle hardness, flavor richness, and oil amount – a classic Iekei customization. Please note that it's cash only and there's no English menu, but it's open until 4 AM, making it a great option for late-night meals.
How to Order
1Before Entering (If there's a line)
This shop is a sister store of 'Bushoya' Akihabara main branch, a hidden gem that is less crowded than the main branch. It operates until 4 AM, so you can visit late at night.
2Purchasing Meal Tickets / Ordering
You buy meal tickets from a vending machine, but the timing (before or after lining up) varies depending on the shop's policy. If there's a line, it's safer to observe the line and decide whether to join the end of the line or buy your ticket first. The vending machine does not have English indications. Payment is cash only (no cards, e-money, or QR payments).
3Seating and Receiving Your Order
There are only 12 counter seats. When handing your meal ticket at your assigned seat, verbally specify your preferences for noodle firmness (kata (firm), futsu (regular), yawa (soft)), seasoning strength (koi (rich), futsu (regular), usui (light)), and oil amount (oome (more), futsu (regular), sukuname (less)). If it's your first time, it's safest to choose 'futsu' (regular) for all options.
4Other
You can change the flavor with ginger and pepper available at the counter. Adding ginger provides a refreshing flavor change. A classic Iekei style is to wrap rice with nori (seaweed) and dip it into the soup before eating.

家系らーめん武将家外伝（秋葉原）。ラーメン、コロ肉。

同じく秋葉原にある1号店に行って以来2年ぶりの武将家。武蔵家をルーツにもつとのことですが、醤油感はそこまで強くなく、オールドスタイルな家系のニュアンスで、バランス良くてすごく好みでした。 pic.twitter.com/8iV99WBJFo
