Tokyoeki Ikaruga
Over 20 Years of Award-Winning Seafood Tonkotsu Ramen.
Tokyoeki Ikaruga, run by an owner with a background in the apparel industry, is renowned for its seafood and pork-bone ramen. Its aim is to help as many customers as possible make happy memories at Tokyo Station. On Tokyo Ramen Street, you can enjoy a bowl from a restaurant that has continued to win numerous awards for over 20 years.
The signature dish is Tokyo Station Premium Seafood Tonkotsu Ramen. It features a blend of two broths: a seafood broth made with honkarebushi (aged, dried bonito) and Rishiri kombu kelp, and a meat-based broth made from pork and chicken bones. The custom-made noodles use 100% Japanese wheat, combining the Hokkaido varieties Haruyokoi and Kitahonami with stone-ground flour from Nagano Prefecture. Each bowl is topped with two slices of meltingly tender chashu (seasoned pork) and large pieces of menma (seasoned bamboo shoots). A wide range of toppings is available, including seasoned eggs and extra chashu. Side dishes include Aburi Niku Gohan, rice topped with seared meat.
A purple signboard bearing the Ikaruga name in brush lettering makes the entrance stand out. Inside, table seating provides a relaxing setting to enjoy your ramen.
