Murasakiyama is a ramen shop quietly nestled in an alley just off the shopping street near JR Tamachi Station and Toei Mita Station. Relying on no artificial MSG, its signature double soup blends animal broths of pork bones and chicken carcasses with seafood broths of dried sardines and bonito flakes, earning acclaim for rich umami that is hard to believe comes without additives. The signature Yukari Soba is a deluxe bowl topped with chashu pork, seasoned soft-boiled egg, and nori seaweed, elevated by the aroma and sweetness of charred scallions. Other popular choices include chuka soba paired with low-hydration thin noodles, tsukemen featuring thin noodles coated in a seafood-rich dipping broth, and butagowan, which is enjoyed by pouring soup over it. With only 14 counter seats, the shop maintains an unexpected cleanliness for a tonkotsu-based eatery and is completely non-smoking, with patrons praising the brisk service and quick turnaround. Operating continuously without breaks and open year-round except during the New Year holidays, it is a dependable spot for everything from lunch to a late bowl after work.
