Nikunoiro

Opened on May 13, 2026, Nikunoiro is a ramen shop located in Room 38 of the historic Asakusa Underground Street, known as the oldest underground shopping street in Japan. The restaurant features a cozy 7-seat counter.

The establishment focuses on generous meat portions by default and a refined pork clear broth called "Chintan," which is slow-simmered gently to achieve transparency. When ordering, customers can choose between a "Soy Sauce (Shoyu)" or "Salt (Shio)" base; the salt base incorporates seafood flavors and a layer of chicken oil on the surface. For the noodles, diners can select either "Thin Noodles" (sourced from Maruyama Seimen) or "Thick Noodles" (sourced from Menya Teigaku in Kyoto).

The main menu includes options such as "Special Maru-Toku Ramen," "Nadai Niku Ramen," and "Asakusa Ramen," with options to convert dishes into Tsukemen (dipping noodles) for an additional fee or add a "Tappuri Niku (extra meat)" topping.
