Ittou-ya

Great tonkatasu ramen at an affordable price. The service was good too. Payment to be made at the machine at the front of the store. You insert cash before choosing which ramen bowl you want. We came around 5-5.30 pm on a weekday, and there were plenty of available seats.

One of the best Ramen places I have been in Tokyo. Noodle is amazing(thick and fresh), broth is tasty, the pork was just perfect too. This place is under rated big time. Loved it

The food was completely amazing!!! The staff was so professional and super friendly which made the experience that much more enjoyable. I look forward to coming back and having the same if not a better experience than this time. By far my favorite ramen establishment in the area.

I personally did not enjoy the food here besides the sashimi. The service lacked but you can still get your requests fulfilled. The seating arrangements are great for groups.

This ramen is amazing. My favorite one so far in akasaka. Broth and toppings are extremely well seasoned. Egg, onions, and pork stand out really well. I think some people might find it a bit too salty but I think it's perfect for me (even though I selected medium broth). Will try the thick broth next time. Portions are just right. If anything, perhaps they can add a bit more broth. I think this is the first time in Japan where I ran out of broth before I ran out of noodles. But that's not much of an issue. Highly recommended!

I tried a lot of different ramen in acrossTokyo, nothing is like this, best ramen in Tokyo for sure!! Reccomended ! best flacone I ever tasted for a cheap price!

The worker there is friendly and understand English, feel free to consult them as I did to order the right food. The portion of Ramen is big, it comes with big chunk of pork belly, one egg and one quail egg...very satisfying for bigeater like me. The soup is rich and thick, so I would recommend try not to put too much of their iconic spicy miso sauce. The spicy miso taste delicious but it could be salty if you put too much in your soup. It filled my stomach and keep me warm in that cold night. It was the best Ramen I ate during my trip and I would love to go and eat again.

Average ramen. The pork included had a high level of fat. Easily 50%. I added more pork as I would not be eating the whole piece. I would prefer lesser fat.

A very rich and assertive tonkotsu ramen that I can recommend wholeheartedly. Itto-ka is a small local chain with 3 stores in Akihabara, Kayabacho, and Akasaka, the original location. It serves Yokohama-style Tonkotsu based ramens, that are characterized by a rich tonkotsu (pork-bone) based white broth that is heavily seasoned with soy sauce, that are often eaten together with a bowl of rice. Itto-ka offers several variations of Ramen, but I have only tried their basic 700-yen ramen, and their Itto-mori 970 yen ramen. The 970 yen version is the same basic ramen, but comes topped with extra green onion, nori, egg, and extra-thick cut boiled pork. The noodles are fairly thick almost udon type noodles. They have great texture and are great paired with the very flavorful white broth soup. The soup is very rich and salty--I recommend against getting extra tare-sauce in your soup, as it would almost certainly be overdoing it. It has a very assertive pork based flavor, without use of seafood ingredients--I suspect a solely vegetable and meat based composition (though I can't be sure). The pork on the Itto-mori version deserves special mention. Normally, most ramen stores serve a relatively thin sliced piece of pork as an accent to the dish. Itto-ka's bonus-pork version doesn't increase the number of slices of pork, but dramatically increases its' thickness--rather than a paper thin slice of pork, you get a piece of pork that is a full half inch thick or more. The pork loin has been boiled in a flavorful broth long enough it is very tender and comes apart easily in your mouth. Service is relatively quick, and as an added bonus, if you finish your entire bowl (noodles, topping, and soup), your bowl reveals a 完食 (Kanshoku - completely eaten) kanji at the bottom of the bowl--an attendant will give you a Kanshoku coupon that entitles you to a free bowl of rice, extra noodles, extra nori, or extra egg on your next visit.
