Last night, a couple of us decided to hang out around Takadanobaba. It was somewhat on impulse that we decided to go to がんこラーメン (Ganko Ramen). The restaurant is about 20 minutes walk from Weekly Mansion (where we are staying). It was raining quite heavily and when we got there, we saw that it was a small restaurant covered in a black tent with a gigantic bone hanging on the outside. It looked dark from the outside and we were all a little suspicious at first because none of us wanted to be the first one to try to open the door. When finally we decided to go in because it was silly to just keep standing in the rain, we saw that the restaurant is really small and can only fit 5 people. Luckily, our group was exactly 5.
The price of the ramen (700円) may be higher than some other places but this place is the real deal. You really have to come to this place if you are in Tokyo- the ramen is really really delicious. The owner recommended the Sio Ramen (with hot chicken oil) so we all ordered the same thing. The pork was so tender, it felt like it was melting in my mouth and the soup base was so tasty (especially when you add the minced green pepper to the soup). Just one word to describe it: Wow!
If you are in Tokyo, don't miss out on this ramen place. Needless to say, I'll be back there a couple more times while I'm still living in Takadanobaba.
