鷹流

(turn left out of the Waseda Exit at Takadanobaba station. A couple blocks along the main road, hop over to the alley running parallel. It’s over there)

Yatai is the… wordiest shop I’ve seen in a while.

Inside there were instruction manuals about how to eat the different bowls. “Don’t add ingredient X and ingredient Y, only 1 is good!” Luckily I was with Nate who possesses the skills to pay the bills.

The owner is into Harley’s. The 3rd, un-photographed wall had bottles of スズメ蜂 wine. What’s that? It’s booze made from killer Japanese wasps, that’s what!

And in front of you? A hair band so the ladies (and hippy college students who frequent the area) don’t get hair in their ramen. Genius!

Salt from Iwate prefecture melds with piles of chicken for a refreshing bowl of ramen. It was served warm, not blazing hot, and fit perfect with the heat outside. Tomato and lettuce, and what I can only describe as young menma finished the toppings. And hella chicken.

Also olive oil.
