Hop on the Shinjuku line towards Edogawa and alight at Funabori Station for the pleasure of tasting Park Azur’s Nagaoka-style ginger shoyu ramen (from ¥950), a power-packed concoction that combines a meat- and seafood-based ‘double soup’ with ample quantities of grated ginger.
The flat, medium-thick, hand-kneaded noodles pair nicely with the rich soup, which shows its best sides in the Tokusei version. This all-toppings bad boy comes with two slices of aromatic, slow-roasted char siu, one cut each of seared pork belly and chicken thigh, peppery meat wontons and a well-seasoned, soft-boiled ajitama egg.
Get a char siu rice bowl (¥350) on the side and pour any leftover soup into it for a decadent finisher.
