“Proud of my contribution to this masterpiece.”
Finally made into Toy Box, after being through so many of the top-rated ramen restaurants throughout the country. Somehow the opening times and location were never too convenient for my visits. I got there at 2:10 and still waited in line for some 30-40 minutes. The staff is not much friendly, unsur...prisingly, as the chef is a disciple of one of Japan's famous soup na2is. But they will be helpful. And all the wait is 100% worth. I went for the recommended ajitama chashu shoyu ramen. A masterpiece of ramen. Of course chashu, negi, noodle and menma (oh, that long, stringy menma!...) are all perfect, but the soup is beyond perfect. One could never imagine that a soup so full of flavours and loaded with umami could be so golden, translucent, light and delicate. Indeed that combination of the chicken soup, a tiny spritz of shoyu tare and the chicken oil is beyond perfection. For someone who used to sell Redbro chickens to Japan, I am very proud to get the most pleasant proof that something great has been made out of these birds.

“Simply the TOP ramen!”
I finally made it out to Ramen-Ya Toy Box and was not disappointed. I was worried when I bought the ticket from the machine because I can't read Japanese and there was nothing marked to help out the gaigin, but I ended up with soy sauce ramen and it was purely perfection! My friend chose miso rame...n and said it was the best. The flavor was so simple and pure! All the ingredients were fresh. There is also a secret ingredient and you can discover that when you watch them make your ramen. The location is a bit far for me, but I combined it with a little excursion on the Sakura Tram which starts at the Minowabashi station.
