Mugi to Olive (むぎとオリーブ), located along Ramen Street behind Ginza Six, is well-known for its long lines of eager customers. Recently, they opened a new branch in Nihonbashi COREDO, expanding their reach.
The shop features an L-shaped counter and extends deeper than it appears from the outside, providing more seating than you’d expect. Despite the long queues, the staff works efficiently, so the wait isn’t too long. With many foreign staff members who can speak English and other languages, the service is both systematic and friendly.

My favorite dish here is the Clam Soba. The soy-based soup is rich with clam extract, delivering a deep umami flavor. They even provide a small cup to place your empty shells. The roast chicken topping is moist and flavorful, perfectly complementing the delicate broth.
The thin, soft noodles pair wonderfully with the seafood-based broth. If you’re a clam lover, this ramen is a must-try.
Another highlight is the Special Clam, Chicken, and Dried Sardine Triple SOBA. The “Special” version includes extra slices of roast chicken and a soft-boiled egg. The broth, a blend of clam, chicken, and dried sardine flavors, is well-balanced, though the chicken flavor stands out the most.
The addition of chicken fat enhances the noodles, creating a mild yet satisfying richness. It’s not overly greasy, and the yam and roast chicken toppings add depth to the dish.
For those who prefer noodles without broth, the Rich Japan No.1 egg mix SOBA is a great choice.
The staff serves it with powdered cheese, Tabasco, apple vinegar, and soy sauce for added customization.
Keema curry is also provided on the side.
The thick, sticky noodles are coated in a rich, yolk-based sauce, creating a flavorful bite. While the dish is delicious, it can be slightly heavy, so the additional seasonings help keep the flavors exciting.
