Ichiran
Ichiran has been serving noodles for 39 years. Unusually, customers eat at individual cubicles, and fill out forms requesting precisely how they want their noodles prepared. Flavour strength, fat content, noodle tenderness, quantity of special sauce and garlic content can all be regulated. An English language request form is also available.

Hakata Ippudo Ramen
Hakata Ippudo Ramen; Look for the big red lantern at the entrance to this cosy and bustling rāmen shop, one of several branches in town. The English menu boasts of Hakata-style gyōza dumplings, traditionally made small so dainty Hakata women would not have to suffer the indignity of opening their mouths too wide to eat them.

Tenjin Nobunaga
Nobunaga is raucous and rowdy, and that's just the chefs. There's no English menu but it's easy to choose from the skewers behind the counter. Another house speciality is potato-mochiage (¥420), a fried dumpling of mashed potato, cheese and mochi (pounded rice). Look for the red lanterns just to the right of Big Echo karaoke hall.

Taigen Shokudō
Locally popular place for Korean BBQ grilled behind the counter and served on sizzling teppan (steel plates). A great bargain at lunchtime. There's no English menu, but order the yakiniku teishoku (set meal with salad, soup and rice; ¥880) or Taigen teishoku (yakiniku set meal plus hamburger, beef cutlet and sausage; ¥1200). It's next to Core 21 Akasaka.

Sushikō Minatomachi Honten
Sushi here can be two completely different experiences: elegant and dignified on the 2nd floor, or served together with other dishes in a rollicking upstairs beer garden that's open year-round for dinner only and covered in inclement weather (all you can eat and drink for women/men from ¥2500/3150). Its sister conveyor-belt sushi shop, fresh and friendly Kintarō, is on the ground floor.

Fish Man
Fish Man's decor is all post-industrial minimalism with lacquered plywood and big windows, the better to show off the deft, unconventional presentations of seafood fresh from the Nagahama market across town: kaidan-zushi (sushi served on a wooden spiral staircase), tsubotai no misoyaki (miso-grilled snapper) or a maguro hamburger served on a steel plate.
Afterwards, stop for dessert at Fish Man's adorable affiliated cake shop Henry & Cowell, just down the street.

Curry Honpo
Can't make it to Mojikō? Try the Kawabata Shōtengai location of the famous shop for some yaki-curry (broiled curry rice with cheese), which the English menu disturbingly refers to as 'combustion curry'. The standard is pork combustion curry (¥870). It's the fake-wood-panelled storefront in the arcade.
