Cloudy Soup, Ginger Accent

ラーメンパークあずーる (Ramen Park Azūru) — Funabori, Tokyo

The Shop

Ramen Park Anzūru is the first shop from a master who spent roughly twenty years working in Italian cuisine. He then trained at several ramen shops across Tokyo and surrounding prefectures before going independent. Like many ramen masters in Japan, he seems modest and keeps a low profile. The name “Azūru“ reportedly references both the owner’s name and the blue paint used in the shop. Located in the Funabori area of Edogawa Ward, not too far from Tokyo Disneyland. Currently open only for lunch, 11:30am-3pm. Seven seats. Since May 23, 2025.

Three customers can sit on stools outside the shop, the rest must line up in the park across the street

The Bowl

The soup here is a mixed-style containing pork bones, chicken carcasses and a blended seafood stock, simmered into a slightly cloudy broth. The tare uses a blend of nama (raw) shoyu. Wavy noodles are medium-thick, high-hydration and hand-massaged “hirauchi” style, sourced via Mikawaya Seimen. Each bowl is finished with both freshly grated ginger and thinly sliced ginger. Other toppings include three types of chashu (charcoal tsurushi-yaki pork, seared pork belly and moist chicken), wontons, sautéed eringi mushrooms, ajitama, negi and nori.
