Tokyo Chiyoda-ku Kandaizumichou 2-15 Quadruple Building 3 Building 1F

This ramen shop opened in Kanda Izumi-cho in 2011. The basic menu consists of items such as salt buckwheat noodles with a clear amber soup made using various salts blended by the owner and miso buckwheat noodles from blended miso. It is easy to see their commitment to cooking without flavor enhancers and to directly purchasing Tsuyahime rice from Yamagata Pref. They also have seasonal dishes using seasonal ingredients, and they prepare special daily items like tsukesoba (soba served with separate hot soup) depending on ingredient availability. However, please remember that there are a limited number of these special dishes.

ランチタイムには列が出来ない日など無いというくらいに人気のラーメン店です。但し、店の前の清州橋通りは車の往来が多く、歩道も狭いため、近くにある『青島食堂』ほど列は長くありません。基本的に昼食時の営業で、夜間に営業する日もありますが、不定期であることが多いです。夜間の営業日は電話等で確認するか、店の前に営業日の掲示があるためそれを確認するといいでしょう。 10席程度のカウンター席のみで、店内もあま...

Tokushima Pref. Tokushimashi Omichi 1-36

This is a Tokushima B-class gourmet (reasonable and delicious) ramen shop. It serves ramen in rich soup made from slowly-cooked pork bones. The main topping is thinly-sliced pork belly simmered in a sweet but spicy marinade. Each table has a bowl of raw eggs and you can add as many of these to your noodles as you like. The shop’s website shows a photo of ramen topped with the yolk only, rather than the whole egg. You can also add marinated soft-boiled eggs so you can enjoy two different flavors of eggs.

I can’t believe these Tokushima ramen are not the latest fashion in Tokyo. I think I have just found my favourite style. Great soup taste, salty and sweet, hearty as anything could get. Thin noodles...

Kyoto Kyoutoshi Shimogyou-ku Higashishiokoujimukaihatachou 569

Shinpuku Saikan (Main Shop) is a popular ramen noodle shop that started as a food stall in 1938. It's known for its rich yet simple soy-sauce based soup with a tantalizing accent of Kujo onion added to deepen the flavor. They also have popular dark fried rice (called yaki-meshi) that's just as good as their dark hued soup.

This ramen restaurant was recommended to me by a friend. I came here about 20 minutes after opening and there was already a line. The line did not take very long. We ordered the traditional ramen and...

Osaka Osakashi Nishi-ku Shinmachi 4-16-13

This is a restaurant where you can enjoy the old-fashioned taste of soy sauce flavored ramen noodles located about a three-minute walk from Nishi-Nagahori Station on the Sennichimae Subway Line / Nagahori Tsurumi-ryokuchi Line. Since winning the King of Osaka Ramen Battle TV program it has become known as a restaurant where people queue to get in. The soup is chicken broth and pork based and the flat thin straight noodles are homemade from 100% domestic flour such as Haruyutaka produced in Hokkaido. The owner uses only Kagoshima Black Pork for the pork slice on top of the ramen which gives more flavor and becomes more delicious the more you chew.

中華そば、塩そば、つけそばをシェアしました。中華そばの優しい味は絶対に食すべき！しかし、塩そばの美味しさが衝撃的過ぎて、自分好みは塩そば！透明感の中にしっかりとした味が付いていて、飽きずに最後まで食べれるラーメンです。つけそばを頼むと分かる、麺の美味さ！お店の中に製麺所があり、とてもコシのある味深い麺が決め手です！また行きたいと必ず思う、中毒性ラーメン！

Fukuoka Pref. Kurumeshi Torihokamachi 11-8

This is the main store of Taiho Ramen, which opened in 1951. Its tonkotsu soup has stewed for half a century and the traditional “yobimodoshi soup” was created here. The chashu pork, prepared from the leg or rib depending on the menu, attest to the care taken by the cooks. It is around eight minutes on foot from Nishitetsu Kurume Station.

One of the oldest Tonkotsu Ramen restaurant. Depending on your experience of Tokontsu ramen, some people may not tolerate this smell. Locals love the flavor and the taste of this ramen.

This ramen shop in Nishi Ward, Kumamoto City serves Kumamoto ramen made with garlic oil, noodles, and chashu pork they produce themselves. Their noodles are medium-thick and nicely textured. They go great with the shop's fragrant charred garlic oil which is slightly bitter and pork bone broth, which isn't too fatty and has a smooth aftertaste. Their carefully selected fresh eggs with beautiful yolks make the perfect addition.

Tokushima Itano-gun Aizumicho Tokumei

"This Tokushima ramen shop founded in 1998 is located in Aizumi Town. The name is an homage to legendary baseball player Sadaharu Oh, whose Chinese name is Wang Chen-chih. The popular shop, aiming to become a ramen shop loved by people around the world like Mr. Oh, has a motto of ""make ramen that even children will enjoy,"" is visited by people of all ages from even outside of the prefecture. Their soup, which has been developed through continuous trail and effort, has a mild yet rich flavor. It meshes well with their homemade medium-thin straight noodles. Their standard ""shinasoba"" ramen is topped with pork belly, bean sprouts, seasoned bamboo shoots, and green onions. We recommend getting their ""shinasoba nikutamairi ramen, which is topped with extra pork belly and a raw egg."

徳島ラーメンの名店。店内は昭和感漂う。店員も気さくな感じ。ラーメンは濃厚な色のスープに細麺。胡麻がすり込んであり、意外とあっさり健康的な味のスープ。ラーメン600円、半替え玉50円、替え玉100円と財布に優しい。

Established in 1972, this ramen purveyor is a one of the quintessential of Yonezawa ramen, for which many customers stand in line to enjoy. The shop has their own noodle making factory, and while seated at the bar one can watch noodles being made. The broth, which enhances the noodles, hand-kneaded prior to boiling, is made of chicken and dried fish simmered for hours to perfect the flavor. The not too heavy robust flavored soy based chuka-soba is served the traditional way with chashu-pork, naruto, and memma slices. The resilient, thin, crimped noodles are a perfect complement to the broth. The shop closes for the day when the broth runs out.

This popular ramen shop located right near JR Miyauchi Station has several branches in Nagaoka City, Niigata City and Tokyo. It is known as the father of “Nagaoka-style” ramen with the soy sauce soup base flavored with ginger. The flavor’s charm is its clean, crisp taste while still getting the rich, deep umami of the ingredients and soy sauce. The chewy noodles that go down smooth and the chasiu (roasted pork) are both well received. All seating is counter seating.
