Why go
A seven-seat Shitaya ramen counter that has held a Tabelog 100 Tokyo spot for eight consecutive years. Bowls run under JPY 1,000, daily specials rotate based on market sourcing, irregular hours announced via Twitter keep walk-in waits unpredictable. Counter-only seating and cash-only payment make this a solo or two-person proposition; patient eaters willing to check social media before heading in will find technique and value few Tokyo ramen shops match at this price.

Restaurant context
At under JPY 1,000 per bowl, this counter undercuts nearly every peer in the Tabelog 100 ramen tier by a factor of eight or ten. Iriya Kishimojin Monzen no Daya, a short walk away in the same neighborhood, charges JPY 8,000–14,999 for kaiseki-style dining, completely different occasion and budget. Akagi sits in the JPY 8,000–9,999 range with a broader menu and table seating, making it the better choice for groups or anyone unwilling to navigate Twitter closures. Kansai Fu Teuchi Udon Irasshai matches the sub-JPY 1,000 price and adds hand-pulled udon technique, but with more predictable hours and a slightly larger space.
If you're comparing on pure acclaim-per-yen, this spot wins. If you need certainty or a table for four, Tonpei delivers reliable counter-style ramen in the JPY 1,000–1,999 range with fixed daily hours. sardexka climbs into the JPY 3,000–14,999 band with izakaya-style small plates and a completely different vibe, better for drinks and variety than a focused bowl. For solo diners chasing craft at minimal cost and willing to gamble on availability, this Shitaya counter remains the sharpest bet in the bracket.
