Niboshi Chukasoba Suzuran

A specialist Chuka Soba shop located just a 2-minute walk from Shinjuku-sanchome Station, focusing on a niboshi (dried sardine) base. Our signature bowl features a clear soy sauce soup with a robust niboshi aroma, offering a light yet deeply flavorful experience. The hosaki menma (bamboo shoot tips) are renowned for their exceptional bamboo flavor, and the chashu (pork slices) are slow-cooked at a low temperature to ensure a wonderfully moist finish. Limited-time menus such as rich niboshi soba and shrimp miso tsukemen frequently appear, promising a new taste discovery with every visit. Open until 11 PM, we also offer a drink menu, making us a great spot to enjoy a drink with your meal.

As your ramen guide writer for foreign tourists, I will explain the ordering process at Niboshi Chuka Soba Suzuran. 1. **Before Entering (If there's a queue)** If there's a queue in front of the shop, please line up at the end and wait. Continue waiting there until a staff member guides you to a seat. 2. **Entering the Shop & Ordering** Once inside, first purchase your meal ticket from the ticket machine on your right. Payment is cash only; credit cards and e-money cannot be used. The ticket machine has English descriptions, but no pictures, so please look for and select the signature dish, "Niboshi Chuka Soba." If you wish to have Kaedama (an extra serving of noodles), you can purchase a Kaedama ticket at this time as well. 3. **Seating & Receiving** After purchasing your meal ticket, either sit at an available seat or wait until a staff member guides you. Once seated, a staff member will come to collect your meal ticket, so please hand it to them. If you purchased a Kaedama ticket, please hand it to a staff member after your ramen is served and you decide you want the extra noodles.
