Ramenya Toy Box

"The soy-sauce ramen is the indicator of owner-chef Takanori Yamagami’s inquisitive mind and quest for constant improvement. His pure soup, woven only from chicken, water and soy sauce, is simple yet complex. Several breeds of free-range chicken are cooked in water only. Having used a blend of two soy sauces when he opened his shop, he now blends over ten types together. Like opening a box of toys, each bowl’s arrival stirs anticipation and excitement." - Michelin Inspector

I wrote down the list of 17 Michelin ramen in Tokyo 2025. But since ramen is not always my top choice so I made a rule I would only visit if I happened to be in the area. And I did happen to finish riding the Sakura tram from minowa station. And ramen-ya toy box was just around the corner. 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.

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 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.

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.

Toybok provides natural ramen without MSG. It's so popular that you have to wait in line. The noodle is slim. The service is pretty smooth. Overall, this place is a legend.
