Just a few minutes' walk from the north exit of Nakano Station, tucked quietly away on the 1st floor of a building, Tadaima Henshinchu is known for bowls crafted with oyster and sea bream dashi (Japanese soup stock) by an owner-chef with extensive French culinary training. The signature oyster ramen features soup combined with soy milk whipped lightly with an espuma technique, letting the shellfish sweetness and seafood richness spread delicately. Thinly sliced, tender low-temperature cooked pork and chicken chashu, kaedama (extra noodles) tossed with spicy cod roe (mentaiko) or basil, and oyster rice enjoyed like a risotto by pouring over the leftover soup ensure you stay engaged until the very last bite. Seasonal offerings like cold noodles in summer are another highlight. The black-themed marble-style counter and subdued lighting create a bar-like atmosphere, drawing many solo female guests and couples. With only 11 non-smoking counter seats and no reservations, the astonishing quality offered under ¥1,000 continues to win loyal fans.
