Matoi

Shimbashi Matoi is a ramen shop in Tokyo, a two-to-three minute walk from Shimbashi Station, set inside a narrow passage between buildings. It serves a chicken and anchovy tsukemen and a special hirako niboshi soba, with fish broth that is distinct in savoriness rather than salty. The shop seats about eight people and takes cash only. It sits deep in an alley, so the entrance is hard to find at first.
