"The chef’s starting point is the ramen his grandmother cooked for him when he was a child. He added ‘Toy Box’ to the name because he wanted to create ramen that holds the same excitement for his guests as a box of toys does for a child. Soy sauce ramen, the shop’s flagship offering, is constantly tinkered with to improve it. In search of a depth of gustatory experience, over 10 types of soy sauce are combined in the broth. Yet the ramen is a dish of simple happiness; noodles from the good old days." - Michelin Inspector

I loved their prime shio ramen it came with two pieces of chashu and two pieces of prime pork. They melted in my mouth. Also the noodles were just right. They were not the firm type but I liked it. It reminded me of traditional Taiwanese “oil noodles “. The soup flavor was just clear type which suited me very well. The staff would collect your ticket while still waiting. And I didn’t know so he graciously let me buy without having to wait from start. Only the sitting was a bit tight since I was sitting right at the corner.

The ramen here is absolutely amazing! The soup was well balanced, fresh and chewy noodles, and the toppings gave a variety of flavors giving a different experience for each bite.

I got there around 18:30 and had about a 20 minute wait. It was entirely worth it. This is easily some of the best ramen I've had in Japan. The noodles seem longer than standard, though that may have been my imagination. The broth is wonderful. The chicken is amazing. Anyone who enjoys ramen as a dish should try to experience this. Plus, as is standard, pitchers is water line the counter. The ramen is served piping hot, so it helps to cool off!

Well-rounded soy-sauce-based-soup Ramen and the sliced pork topping was impressively flavorful. The noodles they use felt pretty unique and I really liked them. I wasn't impressed with the rice bowl dish, though.

People can be very picky about ramen. Especially to famous ones. *Better check X for open time. The ramen style here is clear chicken soup. Noodles are not that hard. That makes it an easy start to who is new to ramen. I visit the shop once a while and noticed a bit of good change in the flavor. The cooking spirit of chief is admirable. For one not so familiar with how to eat ramen in Japan. ⬇️ You join the queue line outside the shop. Buy tickets as your order in turns after the person in front of you and come back to the same place in queue. Wait for staff to introduce which seat you can take. Once the ramen served, focus on eating. Don’t stop for phone or chatting with friends. Chatting while eating is ok, just don’t occupy the seat too long. People tend to finish ramen super fast. This is one of the best ramen, hope you enjoy it.

I found their Ramen superb...this deserves it's Michelin spot. I ordered the Tokusei Shouyu bara ramen, which is their version of Shouyu ramen with generous servings of pork belly. The ramen noodles were firm, soup had a bold flavor, aji tamago was well seasoned too.

This Ramen shop has been listed on the Michelin Bib Gourmand guide. The Ramen in soy sauce soup is famous and popular here. It's very light taste. You should try.
