What to know
Nakago is an Akasaka ramen shop that specializes in tonkotsu, which simmers pork bones for hours to create a rich, creamy broth. The intimate counter seating encourages conversation with the chefs as they assemble each bowl. First-timers should try the Ajitama Tonkotsu Ramen, which includes a perfectly soft-boiled egg. Because Nakago is a popular lunch spot for locals, expect a line during peak hours, though the quick service means it moves fast.
