Marufuku Ramen shuttered earlier this month inside the space.
Now sigange is up for Taishoken Ramen, coming soon.
Their story:
In 1951 Masayasu Sakaguchi moved to Nakano, Tokyo at age 27 to start the first Taishoken. At that time, the restaurant was a barrack made from plywood. Masayasu invited his relative, Kazuo Yamagishi, to help open and manage the restaurant.Years later, Yamagishi opened Taishoken in Higashi-Ikebukuro. In the following years, Yamagishi took on many apprentices and has made a notable mark on ramen in Japanese culture. Tsukemen, a dipping noodle loved by many, was invented in Nakano Taishoken. On hot summer days, the staff would eat the cold leftover noodles by dipping it into a hot soup. Curious customers began requesting this dish, and it was soon put on the restaurant menu.Sixty years later, the dish is now one of the national foods of ramen culture in Japan.
This is the first NYC outpost for the brand, which opened several restaurants in 2019 and beyond in California.

They're not open but have already blocked the sidewalk with obstacles? What a city.
