Located in Kyobashi, “Do-Mi-So” offers a one-of-a-kind miso ramen experience, known for its unique “Tokyo Style” preparation.

This miso tare is combined with a double broth made from both animal-based soup (pork and chicken) and seafood-based soup, which includes ingredients like kombu, shiitake mushrooms, dried sardines, mackerel, and bonito flakes. The addition of premium back fat creates a mild sweetness and deep flavor, resulting in a rich, aromatic broth.
The noodles are custom-made, using a blend of domestic wheat and tapioca flour, giving them a firm, chewy texture. These medium-thick, flat, curly noodles are specially designed to perfectly complement the miso soup, creating the ultimate harmony of flavors and textures. The broth also has a hint of spiciness, adding an extra kick to the overall flavor.
