Raishuken

Raijuken, located in Asakusa, Tokyo, is a legendary (difficulty 5) Showa-era chuka soba specialty shop, tracing its roots back over 100 years to a noodle factory. While the interior boasts a retro atmosphere that feels like stepping back in time, visitors should be prepared: ordering is verbal, payment is cash-only, water is self-service, and customers need to proactively engage with the staff. The ramen is remarkably priced at 700 yen for Asakusa, and their unique, onion-centric shumai is highly recommended with a splash of sauce. The shop closes once sold out, so it's best to aim for an earlier visit.

1. Before entering (if there's a queue): If there's a queue, please line up with other customers and wait for your turn. 2. Ordering & Payment: Once a seat is available, please take a seat. Call a staff member directly and tell them your order. Only cash payments are accepted. 3. Seating & Receiving Your Order: Please wait for your ordered dish to be served over the counter. Water is self-service, so please help yourself.
