Menya Musashi Bukotsu in Ueno is one of the most famous ramen shops.
Customers purchase meal tickets at the vending machine and hand them to the shop staff.

We ordered "Kuro bokotsu ramen" which is pork broth ramen soup with cuttlefish ink. The taste was great! Solid and thick ramen with strong flavor of ink of cuttlefish, a must-try!
