The Tanaka Sobaten Akihabara Branch is situated on the northern side of JR Akihabara Station. The closest station is Suehirocho Station on the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line, which is a mere two-minute walk from Exit 3. In Akihabara, a district renowned for its ramen restaurants, the branch is known for its bustling crowds even on weekdays.
Chuka Soba, a generously proportioned serving presented in a small bowl, is the preferred choice among the majority of diners. The noodles, evocative of Kitakata-style ramen, boast a harmonious balance of firmness and suppleness, a unique flat and curly form, and a high degree of hydration, thereby conferring a gratifying oral sensation and being easy on the throat. The broth, meticulously prepared using pork bone and pork knuckle bones, is infused with a subtle salt-based seasoning. The pork belly chashu topping is slow-cooked in a specially formulated soy sauce.
For an elevated flavor experience, it is recommended to incorporate complimentary Seabura (pork back fat) and table-side Shantou (uniquely blended chili peppers) halfway through your ramen consumption. The Seabura can be obtained at no additional cost when ordering the ramen. The Shantou is an original mixture of two types of peppers and seasonings.
While Chuka Soba is the main attraction, the restaurant also serves a local Akayu-style spicy miso ramen hailing from Yamagata Prefecture. The mild miso broth is enhanced with a spicy miso paste, providing a stimulating and invigorating dining experience.
透き通った出汁の効いたスープに、柔らかく煮たチャーシュー、少しのもっちり感と少しの太さのあるちぢれ麺。日本の伝統的なラーメンのおいしさ。背脂は無料で、後入れでも可。しつこくなく、旨味が増します。辛味も置いてあるのですが、辛さだけでなく旨味もあるので、相性抜群！！ Quote from Google Map Review
