Hope-ken Sendagaya HQ, 24-hour ramen restaurant in Sendagaya, Japan
Hope-ken Sendagaya HQ is a ramen restaurant in Sendagaya, Tokyo, serving handmade noodles in a pork bone and soy sauce broth prepared in the tonkotsu shoyu style. The building has several floors, with a standing counter on the ground level and table seating on the upper floors.
The restaurant started out as a food cart in 1960 and gradually grew into the multi-floor building it is today. Throughout that growth, the original pork and soy sauce recipe stayed unchanged.
The spot draws sports fans and local residents alike, especially on event days near the National Stadium. The no-frills interior and standing counter give it the feel of a casual neighborhood stop rather than a destination restaurant.
The restaurant is about a seven-minute walk from Sendagaya Station and stays open around the clock. Depending on how busy it is, you can stand at the ground-floor counter or head upstairs for a seat at a table.
The restaurant developed TOHKA, a spice mix of chili and sugar that has been sold commercially since 1984. Many visitors pick up a packet to take home after their meal.
