Bold niboshi ramen prepared in a historic wooden row house in Shinjuku Golden Gai.
Just beyond the entrance to Shinjuku Golden Gai is Nagi, a ramen shop specializing in niboshi dried sardines.
Its two main dishes are Sugoi Niboshi Ramen and Sugoi Tsukemomen.
The highlight is undoubtedly the soup. This intensely rich, soy sauce-based broth is made with an original blend of more than 20 carefully selected varieties of dried sardines from across Japan, with over 70 grams used in each bowl.
With the first sip, the aroma of dried sardines fills your mouth. The flavor is strong yet irresistible, making it hard to stop drinking.
The house-made, medium-thick curly noodles have a satisfyingly chewy texture and hold the soup well, allowing you to savor the full flavor of the dried sardines.
Each bowl also includes another type of noodle: Nagi’s original Ittan-men. These thin, extra-wide noodles have a smooth texture. It is a creative touch rarely found at other ramen shops.
