Papapapapine

Take a right at the south exit of Nishi-Ogikubo Station and you’ll see a pineapple banner and a signboard in black cloth with a printed pineapple on it. You won’t be surprised to hear that the main dish here is pineapple ramen (¥700), made with a soup consisting of a blend of pineapple juice and seafood stock, and offering deep flavours that start with the acidity and sweetness of pineapple, followed by savoury seafood tastes like those of dried sardines and kelp. Toppings include more pineapples, seaweed, and sweet chashu pork seasoned with a sauce made from pineapple juice. Their flavoured eggs are the most amazing thing – available for order as additional toppings, these standard-looking eggs are actually infused with pineapple as well.
