Founded in 1995, Kuramae Genraku Sohonten is a renowned ramen shop specializing in the seabura chatcha style, where pork back fat is generously grated right up to the rim of the bowl. The signature dish, Tokusei Gen Ramen, achieves an exquisite balance between the sweetness of the blanketed back fat and the crisp sharpness of the soy sauce tare; stirring well from the bottom before slurping reveals a deep richness without feeling heavy. Guests also love pairing it with the trademarked specialty Butameshi, which is topped generously with diced char siu; the recommended way to enjoy it is by drizzling table sauce and aromatic fresh sesame oil to your liking before mixing. The amount of back fat can be adjusted according to preference upon ordering, and the swift service is another great appeal. Equipped with 26 counter seats all fitted with partition boards, it is an easy stop for a quick lunch between work tasks or a casual solo meal.
