My 2nd favourite Ramen Shop, the Chashu is not as good as Ramengers but the soups and noodles and gyoza are really tasty. My favourite is the Tori Shio (beautiful chicken breast with a bit of spinach, green onion, corn, bamboo shoots) or the Aka Oni very spicy with minced pork. They have minced garlic to add as a condiment.
