  • Aromatic black pepper black ramen
  • Popular abura soba and tsukemen
  • 1-minute walk from Higashikoganei Station

Just a 1-minute walk from Higashikoganei Station inside the directly connected nonowa, Kujira Shokudo nonowa Higashikoganei is a ramen shop where hand-massaged curly flat noodles made by the owner, who honed his skills at Menya Shichisai, take center stage. The gentle soy sauce ramen, featuring dashi (Japanese soup stock) brewed from chicken, pork, and seafood, coats the chewy noodles beautifully, earning a reputation for deep satisfaction despite its simplicity. Diners can enjoy choosing from an enticing variety, including black pepper-scented black ramen, abura soba mixed with rich sauce, and dipping tsukemen choices like rich back-fat miso or citrus-infused salt. Another reason regulars keep returning is the continuous lineup of weekend and monthly seasonal limited-edition bowls. The bright, 21-seat non-smoking interior, centered around 13 counter seats, operates on a meal ticket machine for smooth service, allowing solo diners to sit down comfortably. With continuous service from morning until late night, you can drop by without worrying about the time, whether for a weekend morning ramen or a comforting bowl after work.
