Located a 3-minute walk from Kichijoji Station's south exit, Ramen Doukutsuya has attracted regulars since its opening in 2003. Its signature bowl features a balanced shoyu-tonkotsu broth brimming with pork bone dashi (Japanese soup stock) and umami yet surprisingly light on the finish, lifted by the aroma of chicken oil. It is paired with chewy medium-thick noodles from Sakai Seimen, maintaining the classic Iekei tradition of customizing noodle firmness, flavor strength, and oil level. Part of the appeal lies in how regulars enjoy it: wrapping rice in broth-soaked nori, topping with crunchy mountain jellyfish or spinach, or adding fresh raw garlic and raw chili from the table. Cabb-cha—cabbage and chashu pork ends tossed in a special sauce—is a popular option for altering the flavor or taking as takeout. With 20 seats including 16 counter seats, turnover is fast, making it easy to visit on your own.
