Kanamachi Seimen

The rough-and-ready neighbourhood of Kanamachi, far out in Katsushika-ku, is the unlikely home of this excellent izakaya that also happens to serve delicious ramen. The menu changes daily, ranging from appetisers (from ¥380) to a continuously rotating selection of noodle concoctions. If you're only visiting once, try their signature Kanamachi Ramen, an orthodox mixture that's best paired with some cheap shochu or beer.
