About this place
Zantetsuken’s shoyu ramen is a popular choice for those seeking a bowl reminiscent of old-fashioned chūka soba. One diner who tried the shoyu chashu ramen remembered the noodles as pleasantly firm and the slices of chashu as thick. Others have described the noodles as medium-thick with a slight curl, and the flavour as robust. It could suit a day when you’re after a filling bowl.
Alongside shoyu, ramen comes in miso and salt flavours, and each is also available with chashu. If noodles alone might not be quite enough, consider a set with half a curry rice bowl, a mini yakitori rice bowl or a mini mentaiko rice bowl. A diner who ordered shoyu ramen with half a curry rice bowl said they started with the ramen, then enjoyed the chashu with the curry—a pleasing way to work through noodles and rice in turn.
In the evening, you can pair ramen with oden and snacks over a drink. The oden menu includes egg, daikon and ganmodoki; the listed prices are 100 yen for egg and 150 yen each for daikon and ganmodoki. Other small plates include simmered offal and a platter of chashu. From a noodle-focused lunch to an evening meal with oden and drinks, this Shibaura restaurant offers different ways to dine.
