If you were to google " Best ramen Asakusa", Tsushima will definitely make the list.
And the reason why I would recommend Tsushima over all the other ramen places in Asakusa Tokyo is because the broth is special! It's not chicken base like afuri, it's not pork base like ichiran, it's not miso base, it's not soy base, it's FISH BASE!
They call it Niboshi ramen, made from small sardines.
There's only 3 items on the menu
1. Soup noodle
Small 680yen
medium 780yen
large 880yen
2. Thick soup noodle
800yen
3. Cold noodle with dipping sauce ( not pictured)
small 680yen
medium 780yen
large 880yen
Because I had just had the tendon from Masaru (click to check out post ) and I was travelling alone, there is NO way I could stomach all the items from the menu. So I just had to pick my fight and I chose to order a thick noodle soup and a small noodle soup
I really like Tsukemen ( cold noodle with dipping sauce) but the reason I chose the thick noodle soup over tsukemen is because they said they only make 50 sets of thick noodle soup a day!
I guess you could say it's limited quantity/edition, SO MUST EAT LA!
And the reason why i chose noodle soup over tsukemen is because.. It's a ramen place to start with, hence, I must try their original item, right?
I definitely rank niboshi ( sardine base) as my favourite kind of soup base.
I really recommend everybody to try this fish base ramen, UNLESS you really dislike fish ( the fishy taste/smell was pretty strong)
