TORISOBA Take
TORISOBA 雄
Overview
TORISOBA Take (とりそば たけ) is a chicken paitan ramen shop located in Higashi-Azabu, at the foot of Tokyo Tower. It's a 5-minute walk from Akabanebashi Station. Its exterior has a woody appearance reminiscent of a cafe or beauty salon, and the calm, wood-themed interior features a bar counter and table seating. It has two faces: a ramen shop during the day and an "adult noodle dining" establishment in the evening where you can enjoy drinks and snacks. The signature dish is the Natural Chicken Soba. It features a collagen-rich chicken paitan soup made by slowly simmering whole chicken with kelp and bonito, resulting in a rich yet refreshing aftertaste that makes it enjoyable every day. It pairs well with thin straight noodles, and its price, under 1,000 yen, is also attractive. There is a wide variety of options, including the numbing spicy Natural Chicken Soba RED, a version with vegetables, and Paitan Tantanmen. The fried rice on the side is a specialty that goes perfectly with the chicken paitan soup and is also available as part of lunch sets. There's also a selection of Chinese-style snacks like juicy homemade gyoza and spring rolls, allowing you to relax in the evening with local sake and wine. The food menu is also available in English.
