Misoya Hachiro Shoten Shinjuku
味噌屋 八郎商店 新宿店
Overview
Misoya Hachiro Shoten Shinjuku Branch is located in the Kotakibashi-dori area, boasting excellent access: a 4-minute walk from Toei Oedo Line Shinjuku-Nishiguchi Station, a 6-minute walk from Seibu-Shinjuku Station, and a 7-minute walk from Shinjuku Station. This is a miso ramen specialty shop brought to you by the Kanagawa-based "Nantsu-ttei" brand, offering rich miso ramen in Shinjuku. Its greatest feature is the black maa-yu (roasted garlic oil) floating on the miso soup. The fragrant maa-yu (roasted garlic oil), inheriting the legacy of Nantsu-ttei, blends perfectly with the rich umami of the miso, creating a profoundly flavorful bowl. In addition to the signature Miso Ramen (880 yen), the menu offers a wide variety, including Spicy Miso Ramen, Tomato Miso Ramen, Curry Miso Ramen, Miso Tsukemen (dipping noodles), and Miso Hachi Deluxe. The noodles are medium-thick, chewy, and wavy, pairing exceptionally well with the rich miso soup. The chashu (braised pork) is tender and melts in your mouth, seasoned to complement the rich soup without being overwhelmed. Simple stir-fried bean sprouts add a crisp texture accent. Upon request, staff can provide garlic and ginger as additional toppings, allowing you to enjoy a flavor change with the depth of garlic and the refreshing kick of ginger. The Makanai Chashu-don (staff meal style chashu rice bowl) for 380-420 yen is also popular; its sweet and savory seasoning makes you crave more rice. It's a classic way to enjoy a decadent finish by pouring a little of the rich miso soup over it. A large noodle serving is a complimentary service, and some days, there are perks like free white rice or additional toppings for Instagram followers. With a ticket vending machine compatible with new banknotes, various cashless payment options, and disposable paper aprons available, the shop is well-equipped to accommodate international visitors, making it a prime choice for travelers wanting to try rich miso ramen in the Shinjuku area.

4Other
As a miso ramen specialty shop from the "Nantsu-ttei" brand in Kanagawa, the main highlight is the black "ma-yu" (burnt garlic aromatic oil) floating on the miso soup. The ma-yu has a strong savory aroma that blends with the rich umami of the miso to create a profound bowl. The noodles are medium-thick, chewy, and curly, perfect for coating with the rich soup. The chashu pork is tender and soft, seasoned well enough not to be overpowered by the rich soup. The crisp texture of stir-fried bean sprouts adds an accent. You can ask the staff for garlic (ninniku) and ginger toppings later to enjoy a change of flavor with the richness of garlic and the sharpness of ginger. The Makanai Chashu Don has a sweet and savory seasoning that makes it easy to eat with rice, and a popular way to enjoy it is by pouring a little of the rich miso soup over it.

Miso Mendokoro Tasakaya (Ikebukuro): Navigating the Japanese-Only Ticket Machine and a Review of its Robust Miso Ramen
Miso Mendokoro Tasakaya, a miso ramen specialist located in Nishi-Ikebukuro, is just about a 5-minute walk from Ikebukuro Station's West Exit. This shop is known for its hearty miso ramen: a thick, rich, slightly sweet miso broth, firm thick noodles, melt-in-your-mouth chashu, and a towering pile of crisp bean sprouts (moyashi) – a truly robust and voluminous bowl. The menu features four main series: Miso Ramen, Kara-Miso Ramen (spicy miso), Aemen (a brothless mixed noodle dish), and IWGP Geki-Kara Ramen (extra hot). This guide, based on our visit on Friday, May 22, 2026 (arrived at 6:39 PM with a 13-person queue), provides photos and tips for first-time visitors to Japan. We'll cover how to navigate the Japanese-only, no-photo ticket vending machine using a color guide, understand the queuing situation (only 9 counter seats and long noodle cooking times mean slower turnover), tips to avoid crowds, and the cash-only payment policy.
