You attempt the Tokyo- design noodles with soup, level 3 (sansho level 4), and you like them a lot. The soup is thick with ground nuts, the top is sprayed with sesame seeds and what taste like sliced cashews, and there is a practically invisible funk of dried shrimp.
It is hot however not too hot. The downtown-style ramen you swipe from the bowl beside you is great too– a little sweeter, a little bit more vinegar-forward, with broth a bit thinner … Your lips do not vibrate rather so clearly with the specific numbing impact of the pepper.
