Ramen Hōsenka Shinjuku

I used to recommend this place to all my friends until now. For some reason the milky fish broth ramen is no longer part of the menu - only clear fish broth left. And it’s extremely salty that you cannot taste the fish. I am so disappointed. Probably never visit again.

Beautiful bowl of shio ramen with a light clear broth and a touch of yuzu that makes it really refreshing. Very different from the heavy tonkotsu styles, more delicate. The egg was perfect. Lovely little place.

Ordered their number 2 - with flavored egg. Soup came separate from the noodles - I assume like a dipping sauce. The noodles were tangy and the soup base was just nice. Would highly recommend. All counter seats

Ramen Hōsenka is a popular and well-known ramen restaurant. The restaurant's fish-based broth made from Golden eye snapper is a rare experience. The soup is very delicious and not too salty. The Char Siu they used taste very different to traditional Ramen restaurants. They cut the pork thin and its taste is quite match the soup. It is one of the best Ramen I ate in Japan and definitely will come to eat again. As for tourist tips, here are some suggestions: - The restaurant has a counter seating arrangement. - The restaurant accepts cash only. - If there is a queue, you are required to buy the ticket before start to queue.

Rich, salty flavourful sea bream ramen. Choose between soy and salt flavours, lots of variations available. All the elements of the ramen were cooked to perfection and the portion size was generous! Fragrant broth, yummy slices of chashu, thick noodles and an incredible egg. I went on a Friday night and the queues are very telling. Make sure you wear the apron to prevent the broth splashing on your clothes! Every slurp of the ramen was a delight - make sure you come here when you pass Shinjuku!
