Starting with the ramen's seafood broth soup which is rich in taste, the restaurant uses thick noodles for their Niboshi ramen. Their wheat noodles is not soggy and has good texture you would not want to stop slurping it in.

With just a budget of 700 Yen, you are guaranteed to be satisfied with their ramen topped with 2 slices of chashu, onions, bamboo shoots, and a delicious boiled egg sliced in half. Niboshi Iwashi Ramen En's Niboshi ramen is slightly cheaper compared to its other ramen shop contenders, but tastes totally great within a budget.

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!!
