Masutani Ramen (ますたにラーメン), originally established near Ginkakuji Temple in Kyoto, now has a branch in Nihonbashi, Tokyo. Known for its rich and flavorful ramen, this location attracts ramen lovers throughout the day. Due to redevelopment, the shop moved to its current location in 2020, giving it a fresh and modern feel. Despite its popularity, the shop’s efficient seating arrangement often minimizes waiting times even during peak hours.
Inside, the restaurant offers both counter and table seating, with more space than many other ramen shops in the area. Tickets are purchased at a vending machine near the entrance. After buying my ticket, I quickly found a seat and eagerly awaited my meal.
I ordered the standard tonkotsu ramen topped with a half-boiled egg. This ramen features a rich, layered soup. The top layer is a mild and creamy back-fat broth, followed by a light soy-based layer in the middle, and a slightly spicy base at the bottom. Mixing the layers carefully allows you to enjoy a variety of flavors, but I couldn’t resist diving straight in!
The soup is rich and a bit salty, making it a perfect match for the free rice served alongside. The green onions add a refreshing touch, balancing the ramen’s fatty flavor. Don’t worry—it’s not as heavy as it looks!
Masutani Ramen provides a variety of seasonings on the table, allowing you to tweak the flavor to your liking. It’s a fun way to experiment with your bowl and discover new taste combinations.
