MK Guide Recommends
Karashibi Miso Ramen Kikanbō Kanda Honten is where Tokyo’s spice fiends go to sweat, slurp, and surrender. Known for its signature karashibi blend—kara (spicy red chili) and shibi (tongue-tingling Sichuan peppercorn)—the shop lets you choose your preferred level of pain and pleasure, from mild warmth to demonic heat. The miso-based broth is rich, smoky, and complex, topped with tender chashu, menma, and a dramatic cloud of chili flakes and pepper oil. The setting is as intense as the ramen, with oni (demon) masks, thundering taiko drums, and red lighting amplifying the sensory overload. Cash only, no reservations, and always a line—Kikanbō is not just a meal, it’s a rite of passage for adventurous eaters.
