01 / ABOUT THE PLACE

About this place

Machida Shoten centers its appeal on a velvety, creamy tonkotsu-shoyu broth paired with substantial, chewy house-made medium-thick noodles. At order time, diners can fine-tune noodle firmness, broth strength, and oil level, dialing in the bowl precisely to their liking. By subduing the heavier gaminess often associated with pork bones, the kitchen achieves a mild, approachable mouthfeel that makes Yokohama Iekei ramen welcoming even to newcomers.

Tabletop Diced Onions and Rice

Partway through the bowl, reaching for the complimentary diced raw onions on the counter is well worth the detour. Stirred into the piping-hot soup, they contribute a refreshing, crisp bite that cuts nicely through the unctuous broth. Bowls topped with shredded white scallions or sheets of soup-drenched nori also pair seamlessly with steamed white rice, ensuring none of the rich soup goes to waste.

Varied Noodle Bowls and Side Combos

Beyond the house standard, the ticket machine offers the generously loaded MAX Ramen, chashu ramen lined with thick slices of braised pork, and seasoned soft-boiled egg ramen. Diners looking for a heartier feast can round out their meal with fried rice or fried chicken sets, while dipping tsukemen served with an intense broth offers an alternative style of noodle dish.
