Makoto

Japanese noodles in the heart of Mitte
Word to the wise: As the go-to place for the local lunch crowd, it gets overwhelmingly busy at lunchtime. Eat early or late if you can.

Located in a busy retail area of Mitte, Makoto is very popular with local office and shop workers who come here for the exceptional noodles and soups. The décor isn't anything wonderful, but more about functionality, and don't expect the staff to spend much time discussing the menu with you – they're too busy serving the hungry guests. But this is genuine, non-tourist driven Japanese cuisine.
You'll find the usual sushi and sashimi, but it's the Ramen and Gyoza that bring people here in droves, not to mention the reasonable prices.
