Machida Shoten

Machida Shoten serves Yokohama Iekei ramen built around a mellow yet deeply flavorful tonkotsu-shoyu broth paired with chewy, house-made medium-thick noodles that catch the soup effectively. When you take your seat, the staff will ask for your preferences across noodle firmness, soup flavor intensity, and oil level. Whether you are in the mood for an assertive, rich punch or a lighter seasoning that goes down easily, each bowl can be tuned to the moment. Options range from the standard bowl loaded with pork chashu, spinach, and nori seaweed to an seasoned egg ramen topped with both quail and marinated eggs, up to the MAX Ramen, which gathers the full spectrum of toppings for a hearty appetite.

Pairing this style of ramen with white rice is an essential part of the Iekei experience. Wrapping rice in sheets of soup-soaked nori or adding grated garlic and ginger from the counter condiments keeps every bite varied right through to the end. Sides like crunchy moya-kyabe (bean sprouts and cabbage) or a green onion rice bowl are on hand whenever you want an extra crunch of vegetables.

Beyond the counter seats, the dining room provides spacious booth seating, booster seats, and kids' menu options, making family visits with young children comfortable alongside quick solo meals. A free on-site parking lot adds convenience for drivers, and continuous service running from noon straight through to midnight at 24:00 accommodates afternoon detours and late-night dinners alike.
