This ramen chef could work anywhere, but there’s a special reason he’s kept coming back to the same place for almost 30 years.
There’s also a miso-broth ramen for 900 yen, and extra-large orders of noodles are a temptingly affordable 100-yen splurge.
For first-timers, or really any-timers, Muromachi recommends the chashu ramen, since Ponta’s is cut extra-thick and always satisfies.
Sure, he probably would, but as he told Muromachi, he’s got two reasons for sticking to the same spot.
That kind of loyalty isn’t the sort of thing Ponta’s owner is going to turn his back on.
