About
Opened in September 2013 at three minutes' walking distance from JR Higashi-Koganei Station, this shop has slowly but surely built up a noteworthy following. The basics on the menu are 'Shoyu ramen' (¥670 and up) and 'Shio ramen' (also ¥670 and up). These dishes combine wavy noodles and a seafood-based soup with added meat and shiitake mushrooms, and also include basic toppings like thin menma bamboo shoots and Chashu Pork for a good balance of fatty and meaty flavors. You can also add a deliciously gooey soft-boiled egg. The product here achieves such a high level of perfection that it's no exaggeration to call Kujira the best representative of the "Chintan" (clear soup) trend in the city. The limited-time menu is also under active development, so there's something different to look forward to each time you visit.
Since opening, Kujira has been lauded by everyone. The recently released 2014 version of TRY (Tokyo Ramen of the Year) magazine puts them at the #2 overall best new shop. Not a bad way to start your shop's career.
