Nagi Ramen

I had read about a great place to have anchovy ramen. It's near the Shinjuku subway station but it was very difficult to find. Luckily, Tokyo has Police Centers throughout and you can stop and ask for directions.

It's a tiny restaurant with just 12 seats. Often, there's a line in the alley right next to the restaurant.

Once you're allowed inside, place your order from the vending machine. Luckily, this one had English so it was easy to use. After you get your ticket, step back outside until a seat frees up. Let the attendant know if you want 200 g (1/2 lb), 300 g (3/4 lb), 400 g (nearly 1 lb) or 500 g of ramen.

Niboshi Ramen for Y 820. Ramen, pork, spinach & seaweed in an anchovy broth. I loved the broth but it did stay with you all day.

Special Niboshi Dip for Y1020. Dry noodles with pork, bamboo shoot, soft-boiled egg, spinach and seaweed with an anchovy dipping broth.
