Ramen-Ya

This minimalist 20-seat noodle shop—from the owners of Ronin Bar and Grill—offers two types of ramen: a pork-based tonkatsu with kikurage mushrooms and soft-boiled egg, and a chicken paitan with wavy egg noodles and menma (bamboo shoots). The strands, stocks and sauces—including a chili-pepper-and-miso variety—are all made in house at the brick-walled restaurant. For beverages, Sapporo is on draft, and seven sake varieties are available.
