Koukaibou: Ramen for the Tokyo Food Adventurer

Food & Drink

Koukaibou, is one of those select ramen restaurants that offer a variety in their menu, but still keeps each of their ramen with a unique flavor. They serve the local favorites such as shouyu ramen (soy sauce based soup), and tonkotsu ramen (pork bone soup ramen). You can opt to add toppings too such as additional chashu, egg, etc., for less than 300 Yen each.

 

What's nice about Koukaibou is that you can ask them to serve the noodles separately from the soup. This is called the tsukemen-style ramen. Aside from ramen bowls, Koukaibou also serves ramen sets complete with a bowl of your choice of ramen, sides, and rice.

It is notable that the serving in Koukaibou is a little bit smaller than the standard size and quantity. Nevertheless, it is still a recommended place for all the ramen lovers and food adventurers in Tokyo.

I was born and grew up in Yokohama. I used to work in Tokyo for more than 20 years. I became the National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter in English in 2013. At first, I had attended a volunteer group which provided a tour of the Imperial Palace East Gardens until 2015. I guided more than fifty times in the garden as a volunteer and studied about Japanese history and culture. Based on this experience, I became a tour guide of this online site in 2015. Since then, I have guided more than 500 tours in Tokyo as well as Yokohama, Kamakura, Hakone, Kyoto, Nikko, etc., while improving my tours. My tours are very flexible and I always do my best to customize them according to the interests of my guests. I studied about the places and will provide you knowledge to appreciate them more deeply than just visiting there by yourself or a member of group tours. I like foods and I know many restaurants which provide typical Japanese lunch with reasonable price without waiting too long. Therefore, I am sure that I can provide you the best tours customized to your interests. It will be my great pleasure to help you to enjoy your stay in Japan. So please be my guest!!
