No-MSG pork bone and seafood double soup with medium-thick straight noodles, served at a 10-seat counter in a Shibuya back alley

  • No-MSG pork bone and seafood double soup
  • Chewy medium-thick straight noodles
  • Generous thick-cut yakibuta
  • Yuzu aroma for a change of flavor
  • Lunch-only, good for lunch
  • Easy to visit alone
  • Only 10 counter seats
  • Cash-only ticket system

The bowl at "Hayashi" is built on a no-MSG double soup that layers animal-based pork bone and chicken bone stock with seafood dashi such as niboshi (dried sardines), and is described as having a finish that's surprisingly light despite its rich appearance. The chewy, yellow-tinged medium-thick straight noodles carry the soup well, and a small piece of yuzu peel placed at the center of the bowl adds a lingering aroma. The menu is limited to just three items - ramen, ajitama ramen, and yakibuta ramen - and the bowl topped generously with thick-cut, tender yakibuta (roast pork) is popular, as is the soft-boiled ajitama (seasoned egg) with a yolk that flows out when pierced with chopsticks. The shop has only 10 counter seats, and the humble service from the couple who run it creates a comforting atmosphere; even when busy, service is said to be quick. Located a few minutes' walk from Shibuya Station, this spot suits solo diners looking for lunch in the ¥1,000 range on weekdays and weekends alike.
