The Collector · Aoi · Tokyo
Taishoken Honten
I eat here before anything happening in Ikebukuro, Koenji, or Nerima. It sets the right tone. Nothing glamorous, completely serious.
The original tsukemen shop. Founded by the inventor of the style. Collectors and musicians eat here before late gigs in the north Tokyo belt.
