Pioneering back-fat ramen

Hope Ken is a renowned historic ramen shop located in Sendagaya, near Tokyo's National Stadium. Established in 1960, it's celebrated for its back-fat tonkotsu-shoyu ramen—a hallmark of the 'seabura' style. The shop spans three floors: the ground floor hosts a standing-only counter for swift visits, while the upper floors offer more relaxed seating options.
