Daiichi Asahi Sekime

At Daiichi Asahi Sekime, ramen brings together a clear pork-bone broth seasoned with soy sauce, medium-thin straight noodles, thin slices of chashu, menma and green onions. A generous scattering of coarsely ground pepper is another defining feature. Take your time with the bowl and enjoy how the soy-forward broth and noodles work together.

Some diners have found the noodles on the soft side, while others have asked for them firmer and enjoyed the difference in texture. You could start with the standard preparation, then try your preferred firmness next time. For a more substantial helping of chashu, the Asahi Ramen is another option. One visitor recalled thin slices of pork covering the noodles—a combination that invites a side of rice.

The cabbage kimchi-style pickle at the table is another part of the experience, especially with rice. Visitors describe enjoying the salty pickle on top of rice or adding it to their ramen. You can vary each bite, too: wrap kimchi rice in chashu, or combine the remaining broth with rice. A bowl of ramen with a small serving of rice is a good way to explore the mix of noodles, broth and pickle.

The restaurant is described as having counter seating only, making it suitable for solo meals. Lunch service is available, and beer is served.
