Santouka Ramen

Santouka is a cafeteria-style place in the food court of Mitsuwa, a Japanese grocery. But if you want to show someone who’s interested in food something off the beaten path, this is a real hidden gem. Their broth is unreal. I get the spicy miso and a pork chop stew rice bowl on the side. Come early to beat the lunch rush. You don’t want to be wandering around with a client, holding your trays waiting for a table to open up. And bring cash—they don’t take cards and you don’t want to require the other person to pay!
