Elevated ramen with truffle-scented soy broth and stone-milled noodles — a small shop that genuinely punches above the noodle-counter norm. Worth knowing the backstory: it earned the first-ever ramen Michelin star in Sugamo in 2015, lost the star in 2020, relocated to Yoyogi-Uehara in late 2019, and lost founder Yuki Onishi in 2022; the current kitchen carries his recipes forward rather than being the original starred Onishi shop.
In December 2015 became the world's first ramen shop to win a Michelin star (at its original Sugamo location). · timeout.com
Relocated to Yoyogi-Uehara in December 2019; founder Yuki Onishi died in September 2022 and the shop later reopened under successors. By 2024 no Tokyo ramen shop holds a Michelin star. · chowhound.com
