The food is spicy and authentic, with plenty of original dishes to show off the chef's talents. Closed Sundays and holidays. Dinner runs around Y2,000-3,000, plus drinks. Open every day. Another Tokyo ramen landmark with long lines.
Flavors are artfully balanced, seasonings are confident.
The decor is stunning, with spacious seating, a pleasant no-smoking section, a large downstairs bar and private rooms. Not all the experiments work, but when they do the results are definitely worth the effort. And since the prices here are so reasonable, one tends to forgive the occasional culinary misstep. Yes, this cafe would be worth knowing about for their dessert souffles alone, they also offer a full menu of remarkably high-quality French cooking, from straightforward starters like scallop salad and foie gras to substantial meat and fish dishes, plus some dozen savory souffles. The Y5000 full-course dinner includes appetizer and fish and meat courses, topped off with a dessert souffle.
