Tokusei Shoyu Ramen

People have been lining up for Ramen Hayashida since it opened. The secret for their tasty ramen is in the soup, which uses duck, konbu, and daisendori chicken, a naturally raised free-range type of chicken known for its higher fat content. Inside the shop is a laid-back atmosphere with low lighting and counter seats, which is meant to allow you to focus solely on the food.

Opening Hours:
11 a.m. to 4 p.m., 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Most Popular Dish:
Tokusei Shoyu Ramen, 1,000 yen

Ichiran

Ichiran is a ramen chain that won’t let you down. For a quick and delicious bowl of tonkotsu ramen, hopping into one of their many locations isn’t a bad call. And since they’re open 24/7, you can be sure to get your tonkotsu fix in the middle of a lazy afternoon or after a crazy night out. Now, what if this tonkotsu ramen establishment had a dish that 100%, in no way, used tonkotsu? Well, that’s what the Nishi Shinjuku location is offering, with its 100% Non-Tonkotsu Ramen, and it’s garnering a lot of attention. See if you can taste the difference.

Tsukemen Gonokami Seisakusho

Gonokami is a stand-out example of a typical Tokyo line, with people stretching all the way down the block waiting on a bowl of their famous tsukemen, or noodles that you dip into the soup on the side. Variations of shrimp tsukemen are actually all they serve at this specialty shop, and every dish utilizes shrimp in some fashion. Particularly popular with the ladies, the open kitchen and counter seating make for a laid-back atmosphere.
The regular-sized portion is quite large, so for those who don’t eat a lot, we recommend choosing the small portion + a topping(Large Serving: +100 yen).

Opening Hours:
11 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day

Musashi Ramen,

Big eaters are heartily welcomed at the main branch of this restaurant where you can get up to 1 kg of noodles at no extra charge. This shop is also making waves by offering Vegan Ramen for 1080 yen, which uses no animal products at all, though you definitely wouldn’t guess that from its thick, savory broth. Wooden furnishings and antique props abound in the warmly decorated interior, which is aiming to be reminiscent of the 16th century for the swordsman Musashi, the namesake of the restaurant.

Opening Hours:
11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.

Most Popular Dish:

Mouko Tanmen Nakamoto

Known as having the best spicy ramen in Japan, Mouko Tanmen Nakamoto brings the heat.
