A Michelin-guide-listed ramen shop in Roka Park!
There was a famous ramen shop relatively close to my home that I hadn’t managed to visit until now, but I finally got to go there the other day.
So, the place I’m introducing this time is “Seijo Seika” at Roka Park Station on the Keio Line.
Seijo Seika is now one of Tokyo’s leading light-style ramen shops, a famous establishment featured in the Michelin Guide.
I’d heard there were often lines, but since I visited just after 2 PM on a weekday, I was able to enter smoothly without waiting.
A soup you’ll want to drink down to the last drop
Since it was my first visit, I wasn’t sure what to order, but I went with the “Salt Soba and Meat Bowl Value Set” (¥1,150) in the top left corner of the ticket machine (prices as of June 2025).
After a short wait, the ramen arrived before me.
First to catch the eye was the clear broth, said to shine like gold.
Taking a sip, a surprisingly rich umami flavor surged forth, delicate yet profound.
“This is delicious!” I couldn’t help but exclaim inwardly at the broth.
Despite usually being careful about salt intake, I found myself almost finishing the entire bowl of soup before I knew it.
Moreover, the noodles neatly arranged in the clear broth look beautiful just to behold.
Though thin, they offer a satisfying snap and bite, clinging firmly to the broth.
The chashu topping features large pieces of shoulder loin, vacuum-sealed and cooked at low temperatures, delivering a moist texture that lets you savor the meat’s natural sweetness.
The meat bowl side dish is also surprisingly delicious!
Many customers visiting Seijo Seika almost always order the “Niku-don” alongside their ramen. This Niku-don boasts a level of perfection that transcends the typical side dish.
Its defining feature is the generous serving of rare chashu pork, prepared with the same meticulous temperature control as the ramen’s chashu, lavishly covering the rice.
The manager told us, “We sear the chashu for the Nikudon right before serving it to customers.”
I felt that the combination of excellent base ingredients and the time and effort put into preparation is what makes it so delicious.
The price point of 380 yen for this (even more affordable as a set) is truly astonishing.
It was so delicious that I ended up visiting again later.
This time I topped my salt soba with a seasoned egg (¥120) and wonton (¥350). The wonton, in particular, was outstanding—not only was the meat delicious, but the wrapper was pleasantly soft, so good it made me want to sigh with delight.
