Ramen is one of the most popular, famous Japanese food and has gained popularity around the world. Although it is not very a sophisticated food, it attracts millions of people. Ramen seems to be a simple dish at a glance: Just soup, noodles, and toppings are served together in a bowl. However, the way it is prepared is not as simple as it looks.

It usually takes tens of hours to prepare the broth so all the aroma of the stocks goes to the broth. Also, ramen shops do countless experiments to make the best noodles, chashu (tender pork belly), and toppings that make a perfect combination when served in a bowl.

Noodles are typically very thin with a bit hard texture in the center and topped with chashu. The creamy soup with rich pork flavor catches your heart once you have a bite.

The noodles have a spaghetti-like texture and taste perfect when eaten with melted mozzarella cheese. It will never go wrong with the combination of noodles, creamy cheese, and salty soup, won’t it?

Due Italian is the first ramen shop that appeared on the Tokyo Michelin Guide Book. That shows how much this ramen shop is unique and special!

Kachi Kachi Yama’s specialty is “Yukimi ramen,” which comes with a mountainous decoration of melange atop the noodles with fried Chinese dumplings. It may take you a minute to think of how to tackle with it.

Aroma is actually a cafe situated in Tokyo, but it offers unique ramen that uses coffee for the soup and noodles. The ramen is served either hot or chilled topped with unusual ingredients including fish cake, sausage, kiwi, bacon, smoked cheese, boiled eggs, ice cream, and coffee beans. Each topping is placed so it looks like a face.

What does it taste like? Is it delicious?
It depends on the person. Some people like it, but others don’t. How about you?

Whoaaaa! Look at this fire!

Men Baka Ichidai is a ramen shop in Kyoto that is famous for its crazy performance. Surprisingly, most customers are tourists from overseas!

The only menu it offers is “Negi (green onions) ramen,” which contains light soy sauce-based soup and noodles loaded with green onions and chashu. What’s special about this ramen is a performance which is done right before served to the customers.

After putting all the toppings, the customers are told to put the water glass under the table and remain seated with both hands folded at the back. Then… you will see it!

This performance will definitely be the unforgettable experience. Make sure to have this ramen shop in your plans when traveling in Japan!

Address: 757-2, Minami-iseya cho, Kamigyo-ku, Kyoto-shi, Kyoto

42.Soranoiro

If you would like a healthy option, Soranoiro is the best choice. This ramen shop has five locations in total, four of which are in Tokyo and one of which is in Nagoya. Aside from regular ramen, it offers vegetarian and vegan options, which are called “Veggie-soba” and “Vegan veggie-soba,” respectively.

The soup is based on the vegetable broth using cabbage, carrots and other vegetables and red bell peppers are mixed with the noodle, adding the red color to them. On the top, it has loads of vegetables including cabbage, carrots, broccoli, and so on. Different shops serve different menus, so it will be fun to try several locations!
