The one bowl to order

The clear shoyu ramen: a consommé-like broth built on French technique, with a few slices of chashu

The line to expect: Ticket system and a short window; tickets often go within the first hour. Beat it: get there before it opens and take the number they hand out.

A tiny counter that ranks at or near the top of Tabelog's Tokyo ramen list; the broth is made without bones of the usual kind and drinks like a fine soup.
