Muan/Kagurazaka
無庵/神楽坂

  

Serviceable if uninspired tsukemen just off of Waseda Dori, almost literally right around the corner from Exit 1 of Tozai-sen Kagurazaka Station. Barely a 30 on Supleks. Good fatty moist chashu however, put in a slightly sweet shoyu-chicken broth mixture. Large portions extra. They have several copies of the 2010 Uwasa no Tsukemen magazine, which you can browse through for free while waiting, thus possibly paying for your meal. Noodles match the broth perfectly but are otherwise unspectacular.

天空記/西糀谷

   

Worth the trip - phenomenal. The place does not exactly have a lot of atmosphere inside, the floor and the walls look like they haven't been cleaned in a couple years, but the shisen-kurogoma-dandan-men (四川黒胡麻坦々麺) will absolutely knock your socks off. Closed Mondays.
