Haru Chan Ramen in Shimbashi, Tokyo



Here's another Bib Gourmand ramen shop that I decided to stop at on my way back (2 Chome−20−15 Shimbashi, 03-6263-9636). It can be a bit hard to find. Basically, go to the drab Ekimai Building 1 just northeast of Shimbashi station to find a bunch of little old food places on the ground floor; this little 6-seater C-shaped counter is on the northwest side of the building.

The best thing here were the flat chewy noodles, which arguably were even better than at Seijo Seika. The broth was crispy here as well, but it definitely wasn't smoky, which was too bad. The thick cuts of meat here weren't exciting either. That means that I'd rather go to Seijo Seika, even if this is more accessible from the city. The proprietor was very sweet though.
