About the shop
A popular shop five minutes from Nakano Station's North Exit in Tokyo, opened in 2019. A chef with 14 years in French kitchens makes 'new-style French ramen' — oyster-and-sea-bream broth blended with soy milk and whipped into a rich oyster ramen, plus two kinds of sous-vide chashu. This is its first Ramen EXPO.
