Kagari

Anytime you see people queued up on the sidewalk out front of a restaurant, you can guarantee that the food is good. When it comes to Kagari, you’ll be able to spot a rather long queue outside the restaurant.

Kagari is known for its noodles but these no ordinary ramen noodles. Above the entrance is a large sign reading Soba (Japanese buckwheat noodles) but neither are the noodles here made of buckwheat. Instead, you have only two options—the first is tori-paitan, a thick creamy soup with diced onion. The alternative is the dark and rich niboshi-shoyu, flavoured with soy sauce and sardines.
Recommended dish: Both are worth the wait, but tori-paitan is undoubtedly the better of the two.
