Having opened along Shin-Meijro Street in March 2025, this miso ramen specialist quickly became one of Tokyo’s most talked-about shops among the miso-biased crowd, and we sure see why. Having trained at Ogikubo’s popular Misokko Hook, the chef at Chorin does one mean basic bowl (¥980) – an intoxicating combination of thick, viscous soup, stir-fried veg and punchy accents courtesy of garlic and ginger.
The medium-thick noodles soak up the soup with gusto, spreading out its umami-rich flavour. An impressive four thick slices of melt-in-your-mouth char siu pork, a textbook ajitama egg, crisp bean sprouts and flavourful menma complete what has to be one of the city’s most well-rounded bowls of miso ramen right now.
Other options include a spicy version (from ¥1,000), a soupless ‘Taiwan mazesoba’ (¥950) and a garlic-laden ‘stamina’ bowl (¥1,050) that you can customise with a plethora of toppings.
