Kitakata Shokudo in Shimbashi is a unique ramen shop where you can enjoy both Kitakata-style ramen and Edomae-style tuna rice bowls.
Do not underestimate the seafood bowls just because this is a ramen shop. The menu includes premium tuna such as otoro, and it is unusual to find a bowl of marinated fatty tuna at this price alongside a bowl of ramen.
Another big advantage is that the restaurant opens early in the morning, making it a convenient place for breakfast ramen in Shimbashi.

▶ What I Tried
Shoyu Ramen ( Sukkiri )｜醤油らーめん（ すっきり ）
The light and clear broth is said to be made without added MSG, yet it still has plenty of natural umami and depth.
The chashu has a good balance of lean meat and fat, giving it a juicy and satisfying texture.
The menma is cut thin and has a pleasant, firm bite.
Overall, it is a clean and easy-to-eat bowl of ramen that works especially well even early in the morning.

Honmaguro Otoro Zuke donShoyu｜本鮪大トロ漬け丼
Most of the tuna rice bowls are served as add-on sets with ramen.
For less than ¥1,000 extra in many cases, you can enjoy a surprisingly good tuna bowl alongside your ramen.
It is worth trying different options, such as negitoro, lean tuna, and otoro, to compare the flavors and textures.
▶ Final Thoughts
The restaurant opens early in the morning, but it can already get quite busy with office workers stopping by before work.
If you prefer a quieter visit, it may be worth avoiding the morning rush.
Opening days and hours can sometimes change, so it is a good idea to check the latest information before making the trip.
