Located in Gotanda, Tokyo, Hirataishu is a legendary ramen shop known among fans of rich and heavy bowls.
This place is a top representative of what’s known in Japan as “seabura chacha-kei” — a style of ramen topped with generous amounts of pork back fat.
And no — the fatty bits clinging to the bowl in the photo aren’t leftovers.
That’s exactly how it’s served.
At first glance, it may look overwhelming, but the soy sauce–based broth is surprisingly sharp and well-balanced, making it easy to finish despite the richness.
The thick, chewy noodles catch the broth and fat beautifully, delivering a bold umami punch with every bite.
🧄 A hefty kick of garlic rounds out the experience, leaving you with an intense aftertaste that lingers in the best way.
If you’re in the mood for a serious ramen session, this is the place.
