01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Spicy aromas rise from the bowl as the piping hot soup locks in steam. Tucked into a residential street in Kanamachi, Sekiguchi Ramen draws many diners specifically for its signature curry ramen. The broth balances dashi savoriness with curry spices, clinging well to thin curly noodles and building a pleasant, gentle heat with every slurp. Diners can adjust the thickness of the roux with options such as "rich" or "thick & rich," and many enjoy adding garlic toppings or finishing with a bowl of rice dropped into the leftover soup.
Clear Soy Sauce Broth and Reliable Sides
Alongside the bold punch of curry, the classic, light-bodied chuka soba remains an enduring pillar of the shop. Bowls like wonton ramen, featuring generous silky dumplings in a clear broth, aromatic chashu ramen, and niku soba with sauteed toppings all highlight the comforting qualities of soy sauce seasoning. Pairing the noodles with crisp-bottomed handmade gyoza or a fragrant, wok-charred half fried rice rounds out a hearty diner meal.
Lunchtime Practicalities
The shop opens for lunch from 11:30 to 14:30 and is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Counter and table seats welcome both solo visitors and families. Free parking is available behind the building, and payment is cash only. It is well worth taking the time to drop by and enjoy steaming bowls in an unhurried, friendly neighborhood setting.
