A staple “Iekei ramen” shop in Tokyo. Adjust your condition to the ramen.

The taste is on the salty side, but it’s the ultimate reward after working up a sweat.If you’re Japanese and love ramen, my recommendations are spot-on. Born and raised in Tokyo, I’m recommending the real deal—standard ramen. In other words, world-class.

This shop is a typical ramen restaurant, yet it’s already clear they make beautiful ramen.

You can even get free rice refills and serve yourself!
In other words, whether you want a large or small portion is entirely up to you.

Plus, you can add garlic, chili bean paste, ginger, and seasonings for free in any amount you like.

For Japanese people, it’s a given that seasonings like pepper can be adjusted for free.

You can enjoy various ramen dishes for around 1,000 yen or more.

Japan’s ticket vending machines accept various electronic money options, so it’s best to learn how to use them beforehand. Please note that cards are often not accepted at these machines. In Japan, Suica, an electronic money service provided by JR, is widely accepted, so we recommend registering for it.
