The one bowl to order

Shoyu ramen with the wonton topping, and the kombu-water tsukemen if it's on

The line to expect: Seats are by advance online ticket on most days; without one you won't get in. Book the ticket the night before it opens.

Tabelog's top-rated ramen in Kanagawa and a pilgrimage from Tokyo; the noodles are made in-house and the soy broth is layered from several shoyu.
