Operating near Imaike Station since 1962, Misen Imaike Honten traces its roots to a spicy danzai-noodle-style dish created by its Taiwan-born founder, establishing itself as the recognized birthplace of Taiwan ramen. From beneath a choke-inducing spiciness rises the deep umami of chicken bone broth and the bold aromas of garlic and minced meat. Guests can choose heat levels ranging from American to African, and dropping in a raw egg to mellow out the flavor is another classic way to enjoy it. The menu is packed with dishes that pair perfectly with drinks, such as garlic-infused stir-fried greens that go great with beer, well-marinated chicken wings, and kobukuro with a crisp, snappy bite. With 288 seats and 8 private rooms, it accommodates sharing among families and groups. Even during full house hours, dishes arrive in just a few minutes thanks to swift kitchen service, and solo diners are promptly guided to the counter, making it a popular choice for wrapping up a night of drinking.
