Located a few minutes' walk from Nakameguro Station and featuring an impressive cool interior based in black tones, Niigata Sanpotei Tokyo Labo, Nakameguro is a specialty shop for mabo ramen and sour-and-spicy soup ramen with roots in a Niigata Chinese restaurant. The signature Zen-toro mabo ramen envelops the entire soup in a thick gravy, delivering a bowl that weaves together the tingling sensation of sansho pepper with savory sauce, with adjustable spice levels. The ritual of scooping the gravy over rice before it thins out to make a mabo rice bowl is widely enjoyed, and with Niigata Koshihikari rice included during lunch, it earns high praise for its great value. Other highlights include the sour-and-spicy soup ramen with the gentleness of egg and fragrance of cilantro, as well as monthly limited-edition noodles. A variety of condiments (yakumi) like Sichuan pepper and grape sansho line the counters, letting you change up flavors as you eat. The 24 seats, centered around counter seats, are entirely Non-smoking, making it an easy spot for solo diners to drop by. Its constant popularity day and night is well deserved.
