Miso Ramen at Kawamura6/10

🇪🇸 Barcelona, Spain

Kawamura

Miso Ramen

An okay spot if you just want to satisfy a craving, but nothing spectacular. The broth was a bit too salty for my taste. On the positive side, the toppings felt very authentic and unique compared to most places in Spain, giving a genuine Japanese vibe, even if none of them were particularly memorable. The noodles lacked a proper bite and felt slightly overcooked. It gets the job done, but there are stronger options around.

Rattan Pepper Ramen at Ajisen Ramen (Pudong International Airport)4/10

🇨🇳 Shanghai, China

Ajisen Ramen (Pudong International Airport)

Rattan Pepper Ramen

One of the very few bowls of ramen I’ve ever left unfinished. I really didn't like it. This style uses rattan pepper, which gives your tongue a heavy, numbing sensation. Maybe it was too much numbing oil here, and it completely took over the whole dish. If you aren't used to that anesthetic feeling or prefer a traditional broth, definitely skip this one. Just wasn't for me.

Oishii Ramen at Kamukura (Kansai International Airport)8.3/10

🇯🇵 Osaka, Japan

Kamukura (Kansai International Airport)

Oishii Ramen

A very savory and comforting bowl before a flight. Kamukura is famous for its unique, clear broth that has a slightly sweet aftertaste from all the stewed napa cabbage they pile on top. It’s light, clean, and packed with vegetable flavor, making it feel much less heavy than a standard tonkotsu. The pork slices were tender and the noodles had a good texture. A really solid and tasty option for airport ramen.

Jun 2026

Tori Chitan at Torisoba Zagin9/10

🇯🇵 Ikeda, Japan

Torisoba Zagin

Tori Chitan

A really good and refined bowl, though I still prefer their signature paitan version. The chitan broth is clear, light, and clean, offering a completely different experience but still packed with a solid soy sauce and chicken flavor. The noodles were cooked perfectly, and it comes with their usual great chashu on top. A very solid 9, even if the creamy paitan remains my favorite here.

Jun 2026

Pistol at The Ramen War9.7/10

🇯🇵 Osaka, Japan

The Ramen War

Pistol

Probably my favorite ramen from this second trip to Japan. The broth is clear, light, and transparent, but it still packs an incredibly deep and delicious flavor. It's a soy sauce base done completely right. The pork chashu was super tender, unique, and flavorful, served in thin slices wrapped all around the bowl. The noodles were also perfectly fresh with a great bite. An absolute masterpiece from start to finish.

Jun 2026

Egg Ramen at Kikanbo9.6/10

🇯🇵 Tokyo, Japan

Kikanbo

Egg Ramen

An absolute bomb of flavor and power. The best part is that you can customize both the regular chili heat and the numbing Sichuan pepper levels separately to fit your taste. The broth is thick, intense, and packed with spices. As for the pork chashu, it's just insane—incredibly tender, fatty, and full of flavor. The nitamago egg was also perfectly gooey inside. A legendary bowl for a reason.

Jun 2026

Miso Ramen at Ramen Misoya9.5/10

🇯🇵 Nagano, Japan

Ramen Misoya

Miso Ramen

A very savory and heavy bowl, perfect for a cold day. This place specializes in local Shinshu miso, which gives the broth a rich, deep, and slightly sweet flavor. They stir-fry the bean sprouts and vegetables in a wok before serving, so the soup has a nice smoky touch that changes the game. The noodles are thick, chewy, and made with local wheat, holding up perfectly against the intense broth. If you are near Nagano Station, this is an absolute must. Another great recommendation from @ramen.dev, thanks!

Jun 2026

Kuro Miso Ramen at Taiga Ramen9/10

🇯🇵 Kanazawa, Japan

Taiga Ramen

Kuro Miso Ramen

A really unique and satisfying bowl. The dark miso broth has a deep, rich flavor with a nice touch of sweetness and smokiness that isn't overwhelming at all. The noodles have a great chew and soak up the soup perfectly. They also serve a small vegetable juice before the meal to prep your stomach, which is a cool detail. A solid 9 and a must-try if you are in the area. Thanks @ramen.dev for the recommendation!

Jun 2026

Spicy Chicken Soba at Torisoba Zagin9.4/10

🇯🇵 Osaka, Japan

Torisoba Zagin

Spicy Chicken Soba

Went back to Torisoba Zagin in this second trip to Japan, to try another bowl. This one hits the spot if you love heat. Their famous creamy tori paitan is super smooth, and the spicy kick is strong but doesn't mask the actual flavor of the soup. It's very spicy but still incredibly tasty. The crispy fried gobo on top gives it a great crunch, and the whole combination just works perfectly. Definitely one of the best spots in Osaka.

Max Ramen with Fatty Grilled Chashu at Tenkaippin9.3/10

🇯🇵 Nara, Japan

Tenkaippin

Max Ramen with Fatty Grilled Chashu

An absolute weapon of a bowl for density lovers. The Kotteri broth takes richness to an extreme level—super thick, viscous, and packed with an incredibly potent savory punch that clings aggressively to every single noodle. It’s heavy, unapologetic, and deeply satisfying. The fatty grilled chashu was the perfect crown, adding a melt-in-your-mouth texture with a beautiful smoky char that cut right through the intense base. A masterclass in maximum flavor.

Jun 2026

Black Garlic Tonkotsu Ramen at Ajisen Ramen (Pudong International Airport)7/10

🇨🇳 Shanghai, China

Ajisen Ramen (Pudong International Airport)

Black Garlic Tonkotsu Ramen

A surprisingly solid and comforting bowl for an airport meal. The black garlic oil (mayu) adds a rich, deep, and aromatic layer to the pork broth that elevates the whole experience. The noodles were cooked well with a decent bite, holding up nicely against the savory soup. While the chashu and toppings felt a bit standard for a major chain, it’s a remarkably satisfying and flavorful option to fuel up before a flight.

Wantanmen at Shoronpo Ramen7.9/10

🇪🇸 Barcelona, Spain

Shoronpo Ramen

Wantanmen

A flavorful bowl with a broth that leans slightly too salty for my taste, though still enjoyable overall. The noodles were perfectly cooked and held up well. I’m not usually a fan of shrimp wontons, but these were surprisingly good and well executed. A solid option, even if not my personal favorite style.

Apr 2026🍜 4 bowls here

Miso Ramen at Shoronpo Ramen8/10

🇪🇸 Barcelona, Spain

Shoronpo Ramen

Miso Ramen

A flavorful miso ramen with a well-balanced and satisfying broth. The chashu, although sliced very thin, was surprisingly tasty and still had a nice bite to it. A solid bowl overall that delivers on flavor and consistency, even if it doesn’t reach the same level as their tantanmen.

Apr 2026🍜 4 bowls here

Tantanmen at Shoronpo Ramen8.9/10

🇪🇸 Barcelona, Spain

Shoronpo Ramen

Tantanmen

A rich and deeply satisfying tantanmen with a dense, creamy broth that really stands out. The flavor is bold and well-rounded, coating every bite and delivering that comforting intensity you expect from this style. A very enjoyable bowl that leans into richness without feeling overwhelming.

Apr 2026🍜 4 bowls here

Wagyu Ramen at Donburi Ramen6.9/10

🇪🇸 Molins de Rei, Spain

Donburi Ramen

Wagyu Ramen

Came back to try more options, and this one was a bit surprising. The wagyu topping was literally served as a burger patty, which felt unusual—interesting, but not something I’d go for again. I found sliced meat much more enjoyable to eat, whether it’s chashu or not. The broth was good, but a lot of the flavor seemed to settle at the bottom, so it needed a proper mix to really bring out its full intensity.

Porco Rosso Ramen at Ramen Uyo7.1/10

🇪🇸 Sant Boi de Llobregat, Spain

Ramen Uyo

Porco Rosso Ramen

Very similar to the Laputa ramen from the same shop, but with a different set of toppings. Instead of fried leek and scallions, this bowl comes with shiitake and bean sprouts. I actually enjoyed the broth slightly more in this version. I'm quite sure it's the same base broth, but the Laputa includes black garlic which hides some of the subtle nuances, while here the flavors come through more clearly.

Mar 2026🍜 2 bowls here

Laputa Ramen at Ramen Uyo7/10

🇪🇸 Sant Boi de Llobregat, Spain

Ramen Uyo

Laputa Ramen

A solid and satisfying bowl overall. The chashu was firm but flavorful, which worked nicely with the broth. The noodles were on the thicker side, though I would have preferred them a bit firmer for a better bite. Tamago was well executed, and while nothing here completely steals the show, it’s a correct and enjoyable ramen.

Mar 2026🍜 2 bowls here

Garnet Ramen at Rakkan Bar8.5/10

🇪🇸 Barcelona, Spain

Rakkan Bar

Garnet Ramen

A very well-executed miso ramen with great balance and depth. The broth delivers solid flavor and intensity, but the real highlight here is the noodles—absolutely outstanding, with perfect texture and bite. Chashu was decent, tamago nicely done, and the attentive service made the experience even better. A strong option in Barcelona.

Mar 2026

Nouko Miso at Oh Kini Ramen by Takeichi7.8/10

🇪🇸 Barcelona, Spain

Oh Kini Ramen by Takeichi

Nouko Miso

A rich and rounded option. The miso base adds depth and a pleasant umami layer, giving the bowl a balanced yet satisfying intensity. Chashu was decent, while the tamago and noodles performed solidly once again. The setting remains simple, but the attentive and friendly service continues to be one of the strong points of this spot.

Kyushu Tonkotsu Spicy at Oh!kini Ramen by TAKEICHI | Sants7.3/10

🇪🇸 Barcelona, Spain

Oh!kini Ramen by TAKEICHI | Sants

Kyushu Tonkotsu Spicy

A spicy tonkotsu that brings noticeable heat, yet remains very manageable if you enjoy spicy food. The broth has a decent kick without overpowering the bowl, and the noodles hold up well. Chashu was correct, and the tamago stood out slightly more. The space is simple, but the service was excellent and attentive throughout. A solid option if you’re craving something spicy without going overboard.

Tori Shoyu Ramen at Ippudo8.9/10

🇪🇸 Barcelona, Spain

Ippudo

Tori Shoyu Ramen

Back at Ippudo to try their chicken chintan ramen. Exceptionally flavorful, with a clean yet deeply savory broth that highlights the clarity and finesse of this style. The noodles were excellent and paired beautifully with the soup. Another refined and satisfying bowl in an impeccable setting.

Feb 2026🍜 4 bowls here

Miso Ramen at Ichiban6.6/10

🇪🇸 Terrassa, Spain

Ichiban

Miso Ramen

Another bowl in Ichiban, this time trying their miso ramen with a chicken-based broth. The miso adds an extra layer of depth and warmth compared to the regular Ichiban ramen, giving it a noticeable boost in intensity while keeping the overall profile balanced. A comforting bowl that improves on the original, even if it still doesn’t aim to be a showstopper.

Feb 2026🍜 2 bowls here

Ichiban Ramen at Ichiban6/10

Ichiban

Ichiban Ramen

A solid chicken-based ramen that delivers a correct, well-rounded bowl without any major flaws, but also without surprises. Everything sits comfortably in the middle—pleasant and easy to enjoy, though not particularly memorable.

Kasa Ramen (house ramen) at Kasa Ramen5.2/10

🇪🇸 Barcelona, Spain

Kasa Ramen

Kasa Ramen (house ramen)

A bowl that does the job if you’re simply craving ramen, but doesn’t leave much of a mark. The broth and toppings are serviceable, yet nothing here stands out, and the chashu and noodles fall short of elevating the experience. Decent, but far from memorable.

Nov 2025

Spicy Tantanmen at Ippudo9.2/10

🇪🇸 Barcelona, Spain

Ippudo

Spicy Tantanmen

Another visit to Ippudo, this time trying their Spicy Tantanmen. Great news: tamago can now be added! While the egg was well-cooked and tasty, I missed the depth of a proper marinade—but it’s a welcome addition nonetheless. The broth was rich and beautifully balanced, with the right touch of spice and sesame notes that define the style. Compared to the pork-heavy Shiromaru and the garlicky Akamaru, this bowl delivers a different kind of punch—spicy, layered, and highly satisfying.

Oct 2025🍜 4 bowls here

Shiromaru Classic at Ippudo9.2/10

🇪🇸 Barcelona, Spain

Ippudo

Shiromaru Classic

Another bowl at Ippudo, this time going for the classic. The broth was more pork-forward, standing out without the black garlic oil and umami paste that define the Akamaru. Same toppings (and sadly, the same absence of tamago), but still an excellent experience overall. The presence of Japanese staff adds an authentic touch that elevates the visit.

Sept 2025🍜 4 bowls here

Akamaru Modern at Ippudo9.2/10

🇪🇸 Barcelona, Spain

Ippudo

Akamaru Modern

Easily one of the best Hakata style tonkotsu bowls I’ve had in Spain—rich, powerful, and deeply satisfying, instantly transporting me back to Japan. The chashu, although sliced very thin, was still delicious and flavorful. The only real downside was the lack of tamago (at least by now). Still, the broth was absolutely sublime, and I’ll definitely be coming back for more.

Sept 2025🍜 4 bowls here

Black Garlic Miso Ramen at Suki Ramen7.3/10

🇪🇸 Barcelona, Spain

Suki Ramen

Black Garlic Miso Ramen

A bowl built on a tonkotsu base with the added depth of black garlic miso. While the flavor was pleasant and well-balanced, the broth felt a bit lighter than expected, missing some of the body and creaminess that usually define this style. A decent option, but not as indulgent as it could have been.

Sept 2025

Shoyu Tori Paitan at Homemade7.2/10

🇪🇸 Corbera de Llobregat, Spain

Homemade

Shoyu Tori Paitan

Our very first attempt at making ramen from scratch—broth, chashu, tare, menma, tamago, noodles and aromatic oil—following @donramen_es recipe. The broth turned out to be the biggest surprise, rich and flavorful. The chashu and tamago could have used more hours of marination, and the noodles, while perfectly crafted, ended up slightly overcooked. Still, for a homemade bowl, it was a delicious and rewarding start to our ramen-making journey.

Sept 2025

Miso Ramen at Donburi Ramen8.2/10

🇪🇸 Molins de Rei, Spain

Donburi Ramen

Miso Ramen

A very solid miso ramen that delivered both balance and comfort. The broth had good depth without being overpowering, letting the flavors come through nicely. Chashu once again stood out as excellent, with well-prepared noodles and tamago rounding out the bowl. Another strong choice at Donburi Ramen, confirming the consistency of this spot.

Donburi Ramen

Chicken Tantanmen Ramen

Tried their chicken tantanmen and found it lacking the sesame flavor and creaminess usually expected from this style. The broth still had some punch, but overall felt a bit underwhelming. That said, I’ve had worse tantanmen, and the excellent chashu, solid toppings, and friendly service kept the experience enjoyable.

Black Garlic Ramen at Donburi Ramen8.2/10

🇪🇸 Molins de Rei, Spain

Donburi Ramen

Black Garlic Ramen

Unlike the fiery Shin Ramen, this bowl was all about depth and balance. The black garlic added a rich umami layer without overwhelming the broth, making it both flavorful and smooth. With tender, well-prepared chashu and nicely cooked noodles, it’s a more nuanced option that lets you fully appreciate the subtleties of the broth. A refined and satisfying choice in a welcoming setting.

Shin Ramen at Donburi Ramen8.2/10

🇪🇸 Molins de Rei, Spain

Donburi Ramen

Shin Ramen

A fiery bowl that delivers intensity through its spiciness rather than just richness. The heat really packs a punch, making it a standout for those who enjoy bold flavors. The chashu was excellent—tender and flavorful—paired with a well-balanced tamago and solid noodles. The menma was top tier too. The restaurant itself is spacious and inviting, with friendly and attentive service. A great spot if you’re after a ramen that doesn’t hold back on spice.

Tonkotsu Ramen at Takumi Tonkotsu7/10

🇩🇪 Düsseldorf, Germany

Takumi Tonkotsu

Tonkotsu Ramen

A decent tonkotsu with a creamy broth that had good balance but lacked the extra depth found in their other bowls. The chashu was the weakest point—thin and not too memorable—while the noodles and egg were average. Still, with quick service and a reliable broth, it’s a solid option if you’re craving a classic tonkotsu in Düsseldorf.

Tantanmen Ramen at Takumi Tonkotsu9.2/10

🇩🇪 Düsseldorf, Germany

Takumi Tonkotsu

Tantanmen Ramen

A powerful and deeply satisfying tantanmen with bold flavor and just the right amount of spice. The broth was rich and punchy, perfectly coating the noodles. The minced meat added depth, while the egg was decent though not the star. The spot itself is a bit small and busy, but the service is efficient. Easily one of the best bowls I had in Düsseldorf.

Aug 2025🍜 2 bowls here

Tokyo Shoyu Ramen at Takumi8/10

🇩🇪 Düsseldorf, Germany

Takumi

Tokyo Shoyu Ramen

A solid Tokyo-style shoyu ramen with a savory, well-rounded broth and excellent noodles. The chashu was outstanding—tender, flavorful, and the highlight of the bowl. The tamago, however, fell short and felt like an afterthought. The restaurant itself is a bit tight and bustling, but the attentive service makes up for it. A very good bowl worth trying in Düsseldorf.

Aug 2025

Teriyaki Chicken Miso Ramen at Bella6/10

🇪🇸 Barcelona, Spain

Bella

Teriyaki Chicken Miso Ramen

A lighter take on miso ramen where the broth lacked strength, leaning more towards mild than punchy. The teriyaki chicken was tender but didn’t quite blend seamlessly with the soup, making the bowl feel a bit disjointed. Still, a decent option if you’re after a gentler flavor profile, with the same friendly service as before.

Aug 2025🍜 2 bowls here

Spicy Beef Miso Ramen at Bella6.6/10

🇪🇸 Barcelona, Spain

Bella

Spicy Beef Miso Ramen

A comforting miso base with a gentle spicy kick, though the broth leaned a bit mild in intensity. The minced beef added texture but could have packed more punch, and the noodles were just average. Service was friendly and the experience overall pleasant, but not a standout in Barcelona’s ramen scene.

Aug 2025🍜 2 bowls here

Tantanmen at Kobuta Ramen8/10

Kobuta Ramen

Tantanmen

Another stop at Kobuta, this time to try their tantanmen—and I was pleasantly surprised. The broth was rich and thick, with just the right amount of heat and depth. Balanced toppings and a comforting bowl overall, confirming that Kobuta continues to deliver solid ramen experiences in Barcelona.

Tsuruta Ramen

Shoyu Duck Ramen

Another return to Tsuruta, this time for the shoyu duck ramen. The broth had more intensity than the tantanmen, though it lacked a bit of flavor complexity. The duck, however, was tender and flavorful—definitely the highlight of the bowl. Not a mind-blowing ramen, but certainly a satisfying and well-executed option in a very pleasant setting.

Tsuruta Ramen

Spicy Tantanmen

Came back to Tsuruta to explore beyond my first visit’s choices, and while the ramen still isn’t outstanding, this spicy tantanmen was a noticeable step up. The broth had good flavor and balance, though the toppings could use a boost. A solid improvement and still one of the most pleasant spots in town thanks to its friendly vibe and sleek design.

Ramen Shifu

Miso Ramen

Opted for the miso this time, and while it had a bit more flavor than the tonkotsu, it still lacked depth. The noodles were again overcooked, and the bowl didn’t quite deliver the comfort or punch expected from a good miso ramen. A beautifully designed place with great service, but the ramen still has room to grow.

Tonkotsu Ramen at Ramen Shifu3.5/10

Ramen Shifu

Tonkotsu Ramen

Beautiful setting and friendly staff, but the ramen fell short. The broth was light and lacked the richness you'd expect from a proper tonkotsu, and the noodles were unfortunately overcooked. It didn’t feel like a true ramen experience—more style than substance.

Shoronpo

Tantanmen Ramen

Despite the modest, slightly overheated space, this tantanmen shines. The broth is bold, rich, and packed with umami—truly one of the standouts in the city. The spiced tamago was a nice surprise, and the noodles hit the perfect texture. Even under Barcelona’s summer sun, some of us gladly sweat it out for a bowl this good.

Ryu Ramen Gràcia

Tonkotsu Ramen

Returned to Ryu Ramen’s Gràcia location to try their classic tonkotsu. Still a very satisfying bowl—creamy broth, great chashu, and standout noodles—but this time the intensity was a bit milder than expected. Overall, the consistency of quality and welcoming atmosphere make it a reliable choice for a comforting ramen fix in Barcelona.

Muteki Ramen

Miso Ramen

The broth packed a punch—deep, rich, and full of umami, easily the highlight of the bowl. Unfortunately, the toppings didn’t quite live up to it: chashu was just okay, and the tamago lacked flavor. The noodles were average, and while the space was a bit plain, service was quick and attentive. A decent option if you’re craving a powerful miso, but not quite a standout overall.

Kobuta Ramen i Més

Miso Ramen

A cozy local spot that really surprised me. The miso broth was bold and powerful, with great depth, and the tamago stood out—perfectly seasoned and cooked. Chashu and noodles were solid too, rounding out a very well-balanced bowl. The staff were lovely, and the space had a warm, neighborhood vibe that made the whole experience feel welcoming. Definitely a strong contender in the Barcelona ramen scene.

Hattori Hanzo

Paitan Shoyu Ramen

A more classic approach, but no less satisfying. This bowl delivers a rich and velvety chicken-based broth, deepened by aged soy sauce and balanced with dashi. Intense, flavorful, and comforting. The chashu was beautifully seared, and the overall composition—naruto, menma, nori, tamago—felt traditional but elevated. Once again, great service and an atmosphere that transports you straight to Japan, right in the heart of Madrid.

Paitan Yuzu Shio Ramen

Although the menu calls it a shio ramen, the broth wasn’t particularly clear—but that didn’t stop it from being delicious. The surprising and refreshing yuzu twist gave this rich paitan broth a truly unique and memorable character. The chashu and tamago were well executed, perfectly complementing the dish.

Nobi Ramen

Chashu Miso Ramen

Tried another bowl to give it a fair shot, but it stayed firmly in the same line as the karaage version—decent but unremarkable. The chashu was fine, nothing special, and the rest of the bowl followed suit. Same impression as before: heavy anime/manga theme, overly broad menu, and ramen that’s okay but lacks focus.

Nobi Ramen

Karaage Miso Ramen

A decent miso ramen with crispy karaage on top. The broth had good flavor but didn’t stand out, and the tamago lacked that soft, seasoned touch. Nice vibe and location, though the service felt a bit off this time. It reminded me a lot of Tsuruta Ramen—same strong manga/anime aesthetic, overly varied menu, and ultimately a bowl that’s just okay. I wouldn’t be surprised if the same owners were behind both.

Ginza Kagari

Special Chicken Ramen (Airport edition)

My twelfth (and final) ramen in Japan! A surprisingly refined and intense chicken ramen—especially for an airport bowl. The broth was absolutely outstanding, rich and satisfying. Sadly, the chashu felt like an afterthought, but tamago and noodles were solid. A bittersweet final taste before leaving Japan, and a reminder that good ramen can show up where you least expect it.

Kyushu Jangara

Tonkotsu Ramen

A flavorful, gentle tonkotsu with one of the best tamago I had on the trip. The chashu was solid, and the table had tons of great options to customize the broth. The place felt a bit cramped and rushed, but if you like to tweak your bowl to your taste—this one delivers.

Ippudo Nanba Osaka

Karakamen (Spicy Tonkotsu)

My tenth ramen in Japan! Full-on intensity with a spicy kick, but the overall flavor didn’t quite land for me. Solid tamago and springy noodles, though the chashu was average. Not many extras on the table either. A decent stop if you're craving heat, but not a standout beyond the spice. I prefer other options in their menu.

My ninth ramen in Japan! The most famous chain ramen—and still solid. Smooth and creamy tonkotsu with excellent noodles and a satisfying broth. Nothing mind-blowing in the toppings, but the solo booth experience and fast, efficient service make it a classic stop in Japan.

My eighth ramen in Japan! The best Paitan I ever had. A rich and elegant chicken-based ramen with incredible depth of flavor and a punchy broth that surprised me. Both chashu options were fine but not memorable, and the tamago didn’t shine. Still, the noodles were top-tier, and the service was excellent. A refined bowl worth the visit.

My seventh ramen in Japan! I walked in with zero expectations—hadn’t seen a single review beforehand, just stumbled upon it and decided to give it a shot.

The chashu and tamago weren’t standouts, but the overall experience was unforgettable. A hidden gem that absolutely delivers.

Yamato no Miso Ramen

My sixth ramen in Japan! While I truly enjoyed this rich and flavorful miso ramen, I can’t in good conscience recommend waiting over three hours like I did. Chashu was absolutely stellar, but the tamago was a letdown and the service and setup didn’t live up to the hype. Not for lack of effort, but it feels like a place overwhelmed by its own popularity. Great bowl—just not worth that wait. Try it if you don't have to wait that much.

Chashu Soy Shoyu Ramen

My fifth ramen in Japan! I really enjoyed this one, probably the best shoyu ramen I had in my first japan trip. Plus they had a catchy music theme 😁. Powerful and flavorful shoyu that hits hard in the best way. Incredible tamago, menma, and nori. Chashu and noodles didn’t quite impress, and the toppings overall felt a bit basic. Still a worthwhile bowl!

This one was my fourth ramen in Japan. Classic shoyu punch with a deep, satisfying flavor. Nori was a highlight, but the chashu and tamago were just okay. Noodles could’ve had more bite. Cozy spot with friendly service!

My third ramen in Japan! Bold and tasty broth with top-tier chashu. Tamago was underwhelming, and no menma or kikurage this time. Spinach felt out of place. Still, solid noodles and a well-run spot!

My second ramen in Japan! Delicious chashu and solid broth. No nori this time, and the menma fell short. Great service, though the spot itself could use some love.

This was my first ramen in my recent trip to Japan. It was a rich broth, creamy and really tasty. Bold flavor, amazing chashu and nori. Tamago could be better, but overall a solid bowl worth the ride.
