"The izakaya and whiskey bar Toukei holds the title for our favorite place to get a late-night bowl of ramen. While the first point of interest might be the rows upon rows of Japanese whiskeys, the bowls of tonkotsu are just as exciting and diverse. While undoubtedly industrial and cool, Toukei isn’t lifeless—there are intricate murals or rustic metal signs everywhere you look. Slurp back chewy noodles and cool down the heat from the piping hot bowls of pork-based broth with a whiskey sour." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
