01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Dipping crisp nori into rich tonkotsu-shoyu broth and wrapping it around a mouthful of rice is the defining ritual of Yokohama-style iekei ramen, and YahYahYa Hongō welcomes you to indulge. The signature Nori-Tama Ramen frames the bowl with 8 broad sheets of nori alongside a seasoned soft-boiled egg, offering plenty of texture to stand up to the hearty, savory broth. Better still, rice is served free of charge with unlimited refills. With tabletop condiments such as garlic, ginger, and pickles at hand, you can build a deeply satisfying meal around both noodles and rice.
Custom Broth and Abundant Toppings
Beyond the house-standard YahYahYa Ramen, the lineup includes vegetable-laden options such as spinach ramen and cabbage ramen, as well as an all-toppings bowl combining nori, seasoned egg, and tender cabbage. Diners can fine-tune their bowl by requesting their preferred noodle firmness, soup richness, and oil level. Appetite-friendly choices extend to side dishes like Lunch Gyoza and Tsukemen dipping noodles, which come in regular, large, and extra-large servings for the same price.
A Low-Key Counter for Solo Dining
The interior is arranged primarily around a counter, where meals start smoothly via a ticket vending machine. It is an easy, unpretentious setting for a quick solo lunch or an evening meal after work. Generous weekday night hours make the shop a dependable late-night stop when you crave a steaming bowl of noodles and rice before heading home.
