Shinatatsu

A bit of a ramble, a bit of a gamble (if you don’t speak Japanese), Shinatatsu is a collection of seven rāmen shops and five donburi shops lining the trackside arcade beside Shinagawa Station. Shops don’t have English menus, so you may want to pick up Shinatatsu’s picture booklet or ask for explanations of the different varieties before you purchase your meal ticket from the vending machines. Among them, Tetsu serves tsukemen – plain noodles that you dip in soup, which is all the rage right now. Donburi toppings (beef, tempura, sashimi etc) are a little more easily decipherable.
