About

Located a few minutes' walk from Shinjuku-Sanchome Station, on the second floor of a wooden building in Shinjuku Golden Gai, is a dried sardine ramen shop that the shop itself proclaims as the "birthplace" of Ramen Nagi. In 2004, Mr. Ikuta, originally from Fukuoka, started a pop-up shop once a week in a 4-tsubo (approximately 13 square meters) space with 8 seats, and through repeated research and experimentation with daily changing creative noodle dishes, he arrived at dried sardine ramen. In 2008, it became a permanent shop, and people come here for a meal before drinking or as a final bowl of ramen.

— Over 20 types of dried sardines and two types of noodles

The signature dish is "Amazing Dried Sardine Ramen." They use a unique blend of over 20 types of dried sardines selected from production areas all over Japan, and the soup is made by hand-removing the innards of each sardine to reduce any fishy smell. Each bowl uses more than 60g of domestically produced dried sardines. The noodles are chewy, medium-thick noodles that are hand-kneaded and wavy, combined with smooth, wide "Ittan-men" noodles. The "Spicy Silver Sea Sauce," made by combining sardine extract with spices and letting it sit, adds a flavor accent. This is the starting point of Nagi's ramen, which aims to deliver a taste like biting into a dried sardine itself.

"Sugoi Niboshi Ramen Nagi," located in Shinjuku Golden Gai, is a popular ramen shop known for being open 24 hours a day. While it usually has a line, the quick turnover makes it relatively easy to get in, which is a plus. This time, I ordered the vegan ramen. As expected from a shop whose signature dish is ramen made with a large amount of dried sardines, the vegan version also had a rich, flavorful, and unique taste that was addictive. The thin, flat noodles, in particular, had a texture that is hard to find elsewhere and left a strong impression. This is a recommended bowl of ramen for anyone looking to enjoy a slightly unusual vegan ramen in Shinjuku.
