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.
