Chukasoba Nishino
"‘Nishino’ is not the owner-chef’s name - uniquely, the place is named after a young female pop star with whom he is infatuated. The menu carries only two items, ramen and sansho (Japanese pepper) ramen. Seeking a flavour similar to udon dashi, he creates soup by mixing dried-sardine dashi with white soy-based sauce. His devotion shines in the Narutomaki fish cake, which forms a hiragana no (の). Listening to girl-band tunes while slurping noodles is this shop’s one-of-a-kind experience." - Michelin Inspector
