Ramen Shop Hopping in Tokyo!

Summary


A must-see for ramen lovers 🍥. Here are some of the ramen dishes we enjoyed in the northern part of Tokyo (Ohanajaya, Higashi Jujo, Asakusa)! There are ramen based on chicken white soup that you can enjoy with different tastes, and ramen based on soy sauce that is both rich and light. The fun of ramen is that the characteristics of ramen vary from restaurant to restaurant!

A wide variety of ramen noodles!



introspection


The restaurant is austere yet intimate! The ramen you slurp here is sinking in 🤤.



Ramen Himawari is a ramen restaurant located in Higashi Jujo, Kita-ku, Tokyo. The restaurant’s most popular dish is Ajitama Ramen, a light soy sauce ramen that, despite its appearance, is very light. The voluptuous ramen, which includes a double combo of large pieces of chashu pork, menma (pickled bamboo shoots), and half-boiled and hard-boiled eggs, is known to be very satisfying. We recommend this excellent soy sauce ramen that combines richness and lightness.
