Hakata Nagahama Ramen Tanaka Shoten

Since its establishment in 2000, this is known as one of the leading Hakata ramen shops in Tokyo. In the “Shining Shop Selection”, simple and enthusiastic comments such as “This is the best place for tonkotsu ramen!”

The soup is 100% pork bone. The whole pig from head to toe is simmered for 3 days. By adding new soup to the matured soup to complete it, it creates a deep rich and sharp taste. The three cylindrical pans in the center of the shop are in full operation during the business hours, and the spectacle of the soup boiling will whet your appetite. The ultra-thin noodles ordered from Hakata can be ordered from 4 levels of firmness, but for those who want the authentic taste, the firmest "Harigane" seems to be popular. The rich and creamy soup and authentic ultra-thin noodles can be eaten easily, so it is unavoidable to order a kaedama (150 yen per ball). It is also recommended to enjoy "taste change" by adding your favorite from Takana, ground sesame, garlic, and pickled ginger placed on the table.

Char siu cooked in a special oven, crunchy kikurage mushroom, green onion flavor, and seaweed with "thank you" written in 11 languages. It has the perfect balance of appearance and taste.

Chinese noodle Watai

This is a shop in front of Kita-Ayase Station where tsukemen fans visit from inside and outside Adachi City. The owner, Hiroshi Watai, opened his own shop in 2008 with the desire to serve homemade noodles at his own shop since he was training at a ramen shop. Not only the noodles, but also the soup, char siu, which are carefully prepared every day, tsukemen have become a signature menu, and many comments were praised for the high degree of perfection in the "Shining Shop Selection".

The noodles are specially ordered from Nagano Prefecture, which is rarely distributed outside the prefecture, and durum semolina flour used for pasta is also added, giving it a chewy and slippery texture. The soup is boiled for 13 hours, mainly from pork bones, and soup made from bonito flakes and dried sardines is also added. The soup with the condensed flavor of the dashi brings out the deliciousness of the noodles. The thickly-sliced pork belly char siu also has a special taste. The takeout service, which was started in the wake of the corona crisis, is also popular.

小麦の風味豊かな太麺は、まず麺だけのおいしさも味わって。自然なとろみがついた旨みたっぷりのスープにもよくからみます。トッピングされたかつお節粉もアクセントに。味玉は半熟で黄身がとろけます。

基本のつけそばでも麺量は250gで食べ応えあり。+100円で中盛（350g）、+200円で大盛（450g）も可能です。ミニ丼の「ちゃーしゅーごはん」は、キャベツが敷かれてさっぱりと食べられる人気のサイドメニュー。

They are proud of their noodles with the aroma of wheat. They make it with the noodle machine in the shop during their break.

Chinese restaurant Tatsuzen

A family-run Chinese restaurant founded in 1968. In the "Shining Shop Selection", Nikusutou noodles (meat soba) received recommendations such as "The nostalgic taste that has been around for over 50 years and has not changed from the previous owner" and "The whole family loves it".

In Chinese cuisine, the soup can be used as a base for not only noodles, but also various other flavors. The soup is made with only chicken legs and simmered for long time making it clear taste. “Noodles and rice dishes have a gentle taste. This is the core of Tatsuzen,” says Kazuyuki Obara, the second owner. There are always more than 10 types of noodles, and from April to September, there are 5 types of chilled Chinese noodles, and from autumn to early spring, more than 10 types of wonton noodles are added to the menu. In addition, while inheriting the previous owner's menu, it seems that the new menu created by the current owner is gradually increasing. The homey atmosphere of a family-run business is also appealing.

生姜の風味が爽やかな酸味を控えめにしたスープと、たっぷりのピリ辛もやしが合わさった深みのある味わい。暑い季節にぴったりの5種類の冷やし中華が揃います。

Tianjin noodles are one of the popular menus from the previous owner. The tamagoyaki using 3 eggs, which is full of the flavor of crab and green onions, is combined with soup and noodles to create a gentle taste that warms both your stomach and your heart.

Mr. Kazuyuki Obara, the second owner, and Mrs. Kiyo, the former wife. “Stir-fried offal and egg fried rice are also popular menu items.”
