Quite a few people know that Rokurinsha, the famous ramen shop, has a branch in Tokyo Skytree, but I do not think many know that on weekday nights you can get in without lining up. They close at 9, and if you go in just before that, you can eat with no line at all. Normally you have to wait an hour or so, so if you want to enjoy their ramen in peace, stopping by Skytree on the way home from work is not a bad idea.

As always, the noodles are seriously hefty.
The dipping soup
There are all sorts of soup styles out there, but a double soup like theirs suits my palate best. A really well-balanced flavor.
I finished it in no time and had them dilute the leftover soup for me.
I get cravings for it now and then, and since it is close to home, I can just drop by without a second thought. A nice neighborhood to live in. ^_^
