Menya Nakagawa

Located a 5-minute walk from Ikebukuro West Exit, this popular restaurant is known for its carefully prepared chicken broth ramen and tsukemen. Their signature Chicken Salt Ramen features a clear soup blended with clam broth and Setouchi sea salt. The popular Chicken Seafood Tsukemen offers rich dipping broth made from Kyushu chicken bones and Kujukuri dried sardines, paired with chewy thick noodles made from Hokkaido wheat.
