About this place
Kuwabara’s shio ramen has a distinctly salty profile. Diners have described the soup’s saltiness, underpinned by savoury chicken flavour, as memorable, and the relatively thin noodles as pleasantly firm. Another diner praised the firm noodles in a soup with a savoury, meat-based depth, with crisp-edged chashu and slender, crunchy bamboo shoots adding contrasting textures.
For a first bowl, consider the classic shio ramen (750 yen) or the aged shio ramen (950 yen), listed as the menu’s No. 1 bestseller. Plum shio ramen (850 yen) and special shio tsukemen (1,050 yen) offer other ways to explore the same salt-forward style.
For something more robust, there is Ikebukuro White (1,200 yen). One diner said its firmly seasoned soup worked well with thick, chewy noodles, and enjoyed adding aged garlic. Salted pork rice (700 yen) is also on the menu if you would like a rice dish with your noodles.
The restaurant offers takeaway as well as dine-in service. Payment is cash only, and reservations are not accepted.
