Kugatsudo
九月堂
Overview
"Kugatsudo," located in Shibuya, Tokyo, is a ramen shop offering shoyu ramen that is wholesome and gentle on the body, completely free of chemical seasonings. Their elegant soup, infused with the rich umami of dried sardines (niboshi), bonito flakes (katsuobushi), and chicken bones, can be chosen in either "light" (assari) or "rich" (kotteri) styles, and pairs perfectly with their thin, straight noodles containing whole wheat flour. A unique charm of Kugatsudo is its stylish, cafe-like ambiance where guests can also enjoy traditional Japanese sweets like parfaits, handcrafted by wagashi artisans. With touch-panel ticket vending machines that support QR code payments, it's easy to experience the sophisticated flavors cherished by locals.
