Tanaka Soba Ten Asakusa

This Kitakata-style Chuka Soba shop is based on the concept of "casual, country-style ramen." It's conveniently located on a tourist street, just a short walk from Senso-ji Temple and Asakusa Station (Ginza Line), making it easy to stop by during your Asakusa sightseeing. The signature Chuka Soba features a clear, well-balanced broth of seafood and animal ingredients, topped with pork back fat, and served with smooth, chewy, medium-thick, flat, wavy noodles that entangle well. The amount of pork back fat can be adjusted to your liking. The Yamagata Spicy Miso Ramen is also popular, allowing you to enjoy evolving flavors by gradually dissolving the spicy miso paste. The ticket vending machine offers English options and photos, making it a frequent stop for many international customers.
