JapaneseRamenTonkotsuIberico pork

Kingichi (無双東京, 'Peerless Tokyo') is a minimalist single-counter ramen shop near People's Square, celebrated by Nomfluence and City News Service for one of Shanghai's cleanest, most luscious tonkotsu broths. The five-ramen menu is focused, precise, and bolstered by an excellent Iberico pork tonkatsu.

About
With barely enough room for a bar counter and a handful of stools, Kingichi operates with the focused intensity of a Tokyo ramen specialist. The flagship Original Tonkotsu (¥77) earns its premium price through broth that is thick and creamy yet tastes remarkably clean—a testament to careful technique and sourcing. The Spicy Tonkotsu (¥66) adds sesame oil and chili for a slow-building heat, while the White Chicken Ramen (¥55), Seafood Ramen (¥88), and San Liang Ramen (¥88 with pork belly, prawn, and abalone) round out the concise menu. The house-made Iberico Pork Tonkatsu (¥58)—panko-crusted and fried—is an unmissable side dish. City News Service's Top 10 Ramen Spots in Shanghai feature named Kingichi among the city's best.
