Akasaka Mori (All Toppings)
Akasaka Miso Ramen Options
You don’t have to order from a vending machine at Ittenbari. They have a handy menu with photos and English. You have a choice of miso, spicy miso, awase (miso and soy sauce), or shio.
I feel like the miso ramen is the way to go. The cordial blend of Kyoto and Hokkaido miso stands out best. “Awase” (soy sauce and miso) is most popular but a little too busy and salty for my taste.
Closeup
The soup is pork bones, chicken bones, and some fish. It’s light, goes down smooth, and isn’t too thick. “All toppings” comes with big pieces of tougher, old-school chashu pork.
The portions are massive, so do come hungry. Akasaka Ittenbari is also known for fried rice (chahan) and cripsy gyoza (fried dumplings).

This ramen shop boasts a fairly long history. They got their start in the 1970s. It does feel a bit retro inside.
