One of the most iconic dishes in Japan is ramen; with its rich, warm broth, chewy noodles, and tender cuts of meat, what’s not to love? With more than 100,000 eateries in Tokyo, it seems like more than half of them offer ramen on their menus! This traditional Japanese meal is available in a variety of flavours, including Hakata-style Tonkotsu ramen, spicy ramen, vegan ramen, and pork-free choices. So in a nutshell, yes, Tokyo is best known for ramen, particularly in popular areas like Shinjuku and Shibuya.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How much is ramen in Tokyo?<\/span><\/h2>\n

From large national chains like Ichiran to small, family-run establishments, ramen is an affordable meal that typically costs between 600 and 1,200 yen (around SGD 6 – 12) a bowl. Even with additional toppings, a side dish, and a beverage like beer, it\u2019s unlikely to exceed 2,000 yen (around SGD 20).<\/span><\/p>\n

Best ramen places in Tokyo: Shinjuku<\/span><\/h2>\n

Due to its fusion of modern and traditional Japanese culture, Shinjuku is frequently referred to be the beating heart of Tokyo. More than that, it is also one of Tokyo’s best ramen hotspots. Visit these best ramen places in Shinjuku today!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Toripaitan Kageyama is the best ramen place to visit in Shinjuku if you\u2019re a big fan of both ramen and <\/span>chicken<\/span><\/a>. They serve <\/span>paitan<\/span><\/i> ramen, which is one of the best chicken soups in Tokyo. A bowl of ramen contains its renowned chewy, thick <\/span>noodles<\/span><\/a>, perfectly cooked <\/span>eggs<\/span><\/a>, steamed chicken, and red-leaf <\/span>lettuce<\/span><\/a>. The <\/span>soup<\/span><\/a> also comes with a slice of <\/span>lemon<\/span><\/a> on the side. We suggest adding the lemon halfway through your meal to see what a difference it can make. The addition of the citrus flavour cuts through the richness, giving the soup a gentle sour note at the end! If you\u2019ve got any leftover broth, don\u2019t hesitate to enjoy it with the free <\/span>rice<\/span><\/a>. <\/span>Oh, so heavenly!<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Nakiryu<\/span><\/a> is one of the first best ramen restaurants in Tokyo to receive a Michelin Star. The shoyu, shio, and san ramen (more sour tatanmen) at Nakiryu are top-notch. However, their best-selling item is the original tantanmen. The tantanmen is inspired by the fiery Szechuan cuisine dan-dan noodles, which include <\/span>minced pork<\/span><\/a>, a lot of Szechuan pepper, and <\/span>chilli oil<\/span><\/a> for a kick. And, the addition of <\/span>black vinegar<\/span><\/a> and apple vinegar give the soup a subtle sourness. Overall, it creates a nutty broth that goes nicely with the thin noodles. And the best part? A bowl only costs less than SGD$10! What a steal!<\/span><\/p>\n

The restaurant does, however, suggest the shio soba. The base stock is a delicately balanced blend of two types of salt (Mongolian rock salt and Okinawan sea salt) and perfectly complements the seafood sweetness from the hamaguri clam and red sea bream. Italian <\/span>white truffle oil<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>porcini mushroom<\/span><\/a> sauce, pancetta <\/span>bacon<\/span><\/a> bits, and inca berry sauce are then added to the noodles, giving the dish an extra depth of flavour. Without a doubt, you’d want to finish up the soup till the very last drop!<\/span><\/p>\n
