Just a short walk from Oimachi Station in an alley of the Higashikoji food quarter that preserves retro Showa atmosphere, Irikoya is a compact noodle shop with only a 5-seat standing counter. The signature broth features 'iriko' (dried baby sardines) as the star ingredient, renowned for its light-colored soy sauce base that delivers sharp flavor without feeling heavy, allowing guests to drink every last drop. Deep-fried tofu and crunchy tenkasu tempura scraps inspired by standing soba stalls absorb the broth, creating an unusual yet remarkably harmonious ramen combination. The menu includes a deluxe bowl loaded with chashu pork, wontons, and seasoned soft-boiled egg, as well as a morning ramen available from 08:00, all priced under ¥1,000. Friendly hospitality includes asking each diner about broth strength and optional ginger, making it an inviting stop before work or for a casual solo lunch while watching noodles expertly prepared right before your eyes.
