I am on a trip with my family in Japan we are spending 6 days in Tokyo we want to eat a good ramen bowl. We don’t want to get caught in a chain restaurant or a tourist trap
Is there a good small restaurant restaurants that would be « THE BEST » one.
We are in kagurazaka so one near that could be great but we can’t go anywhere in Tokyo.
Thanks in advance
I'll post information about the ramen shop in the comments section.
Found this place during my last trip to Niigata, thought I would share. It is a free magazine, so I am sure they do not mind that people have access to this information online. (if I remember correctly, there even is an online version somewhere)
You have probably seen me post about Toraibu every now and then. I could say it is one of my favorite iekei, not necessarily because it’s the absolute best out there, but rather because it’s super easy to access with their locations in Musashi-Kosugi, Jiyugaoka and Gakugei-Daigaku. I travel along the Toyoko line quite often, which means their shops are often in my reach. And if I’m craving iekei I can grab one there on a very good level. Small rice on the side mandatory.
เป็นราเมนที่อยู่ใกล้โรงแรมตอนที่พักที่osaka คะแนนดีทั้งใน google map และtabelog เลยมาลองดู
อันที่เป็นซุปครีมมี่สีขาวคือดีงามเลย เป็นซุปวัวเคี่ยว อร่อยกว่าที่คาดหวังไว้ ใครอยู่osaka หาราเมนกิน มาลองดูได้
ถ้ามาแนะนำให้สั่งซุปครีมมี่สีขาว
Please post your thoughts on the restaurant and the food in the comments section.
Founded by the former head chef of “Ramen Sukoyaka” (ラーメン健やか) in Mitaka.
High end kombusui tsukemen, served with dried tomatoes in the kombusui for extra umami.
Noodles are long, slippery and have a bit of a mochi texture to them, good chew.
Soup is made without artificial flavor enhancers (not that I care) l, a mix of chicken and shellfish.
Toppings are top notch and worth going for despite the harsh price of 2000 Yen for the tokusei.
As a bonus, the burger hyakumeiten “Butcher’s Table” is around the corner.
Solid spicy Sichuan-style tantanmen in Tokyo at Aun. Spice level 3. Ground meat, fried shrimp, sprouts, mizuna, hot chili oil, sesame soup, and long stretchy noodles. Very yummy.
This is my favorite spot for Ie-kei ramen. It’s seriously delicious!
At Tsukirin restauran in Yokohama fish market.
Niboshi ramen (dried sardines base broth)
Daily fresh sushi nigiris
I've been to all Ramen jiro in Tokyo and Saitama.
I just got back from Europe at the time and needed a quick tastebud reset. Nothing fancy, nothing with a long line, just a solid chicken shoyu that satisfies. And that’s exactly what you can find at Hayashida. Basically all their bowls are worth trying, but if I had to pick just one, I’d go for their shoyu.
Great chicken flavor, lots of chicken fat and a consistent high quality, no matter which location you eat at.
Quick lunch at Paimen in Meguro, which serves an iekei-adjacent tonkotsu-shoyu. It’s definitely not my favorite tonkotsu-shoyu out there, but I am around there often anyway and it’s good enough for a quick bite.
Compared to regular iekei, Paimen has more collagen and is a bit more “lip smacking”, but has a bit less punch and funk.
If you go, pick their thick futomen and get extra negi.
