Ramen Kamo to Negi

See More
Kamo to Negi (lit. Duck and Spring Onion) is a duck broth specialty shop whose tagline is that their is "just duck, , and water only". In Japanese cuisine, duck is a rather unusual ingredient, and not often used. However the fusion of the rich and deep taste of duck, together with the acidity of the makes more a surprisingly light, yet deep broth at the same time. The negi isn't just a secondary element, but also a main hero of the dish, and you get to choose two of three monthly selections of negi to put atop your dish. From the first bite, you'll definitely be hooked on this unusual ramen, and its no wonder that the shop commands long queues even late into the night.
