Nagaoka Shokudo Tokyo Ramen Yokocho

This is one of the shops in the "Tokyo Ramen Yokocho" located in the Yaesu Underground Mall, serving ginger soy sauce ramen originating from Niigata's Nagaoka region. It is operated by Gift Holdings (which also runs Iekei-style Machida Shoten and Jiro-style Butayama), with all seven shops in the yokocho managed by the same company. The signature dish is Ginger Soy Sauce Ramen, featuring medium-thick flat wavy noodles combined with a pork bone and chicken broth base, a sweet soy sauce tare, and a generous kick of ginger. A slight layer of pork back fat floats on the surface, and the ginger's crispness leaves a light aftertaste. It's topped with chashu, shredded menma, spinach, naruto, and green onions. A common practice is to add extra grated ginger (oi shoga, "add extra ginger") from the table to enhance the flavor. They also offer soy sauce and salt-based ramen, as well as tsukemen. It's a light and stomach-friendly bowl, perfect as a late-night meal after drinks.
