The pop-up space called "#ShinjukuChikaRamen" will be hosting a limited-time ramen event produced by Odakyu Department Store, showcasing various ramen styles. From August 17 to 22, popular ramen YouTuber, SUSURU, introduces his shop, "Kitano Shoyu Chihou," allowing fans to experience his unique ramen offerings in person.

The Appeal of Underground Ramen

The convenience of the underground shopping area, located directly connected to Shinjuku Station, makes it an ideal place not only for ramen fans but also for office workers looking for a quick and satisfying lunch. During peak hours, it can attract more than 100 people waiting in line. In the scorching heat of summer, this underground gem offers a comfortable oasis where visitors can enjoy their ramen in a cool environment.

SUSURU's Ramen Shop: A Taste of Excellence

SUSURU, known for his YouTube channel "SUSURU TV," has gained a massive following for showcasing ramen shops across Japan, emphasizing a "healthy ramen lifestyle". With approximately 2 million subscribers, he has become a prominent influencer in the ramen community. His ramen shop, "Kitano Shoyu Chihou," opened in Suidobashi in March of this year, is now making its debut in the Shinjuku area, presenting a rare opportunity for locals and visitors alike to savor SUSURU's creations.

Flavorful and Unique: The Kitano Shoyu Ramen

Priced at 1,100 yen per bowl (including tax), the Kitano Shoyu Ramen embodies SUSURU’s interpretation of the ultimate ramen experience. Inspired by the cooking method of Sapporo-style miso ramen, where ingredients are sautéed in a cast iron pot, this dish uniquely reimagines it as a soy sauce ramen. The rich pork soup, lightly emulsified in the iron pot, is infused with the savory aroma of sautéed ground meat, resulting in a deep, flavorful broth. Additionally, the noodles are crafted to evoke nostalgia with a curly texture reminiscent of Sapporo ramen, making every bite a delightful experience.
