Kageyama Takadanobaba

An offshoot of Jiyugaoka's popular Kageyamaro, this relatively newly opened ramen shop along Waseda-dori in Takadanobaba specialises in tori-paitan (milky chicken broth) soup. Its deep flavours are combined with fluffy, thick noodles in their signature shio soba (¥850), which is best enjoyed with a sprinkle of lemon. For a more original option, try the tori-paitan tantanmen (¥850), served in a sesame-flavoured soup and seasoned with balsamic vinegar – an interesting mix of sweet and sour.
