01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Whether you prefer a clear, light broth or a deep, opaque soup, Oreryū Shio Ramen Nakameguro Ekimae showcases the versatility of salt ramen. Alongside the standard shio bowl, the kitchen offers aged shio ramen—simmering chicken bones and pork marrow bones into an emulsion of savouriness—and fragrant yuzu shio ramen. Smooth, thin noodles carry the broth effortlessly, paired with tender chashu and seasoned soft-boiled eggs for an easy, satisfying meal.
Shaping Your Bowl with Counter Condiments
Much of the enjoyment here begins after taking a seat, where a variety of complimentary seasonings line the counters and tables. Starting with the broth as served allows you to appreciate its base profile before adding rock nori or tororo kombu for marine fragrance and body, or stirring in a touch of yuzu koshō for sharp citrus heat. Being able to refine the balance down to the last spoonful makes repeat visits rewarding.
Substantial Bowls and Side Offerings
For an especially filling meal, the hearty Ore-Mori Otoko-Mori comes generously topped with thick-cut roast pork and crispy fried chicken, while noodle combos paired with wok-tossed half-fried rice offer reliable substance. The kitchen also prepares sides such as house gyoza, cheese dumplings, and yūlinchī fried chicken, which double naturally as accompaniments to a cold beer.
Station-Side Convenience into the Night
Positioned just moments from Nakameguro Station, the shop operates with an intuitive ticket-vending machine at the entrance for quick ordering. In addition to regular daytime lunch hours, it stays open late into the night and until 6:00 the following morning on select days, making it an accessible stop for a post-work meal or late evening ramen.
