TOP 7 RAMEN in TOKYO, JAPAN

[@withTOKKI]

Highly recommend these ramen-yas for your next Tokyo trip! Lmk in the comments if I missed your favorite ramen shop. 😉

[@ursulakaiser5028]

Tokki, could you try Student Noodle (Ramen Bayashi) in Narita sometime please. I desperately miss their shisenmen (Red hot chilli noodle soup) and would love to know what their broth base is.

[@Piotr-lo1jf]

Hi TOKKI do you maybe be in Poland or you have friends from Poland

[@franco3584]

The Best Ramen Video I've seen . I made my list . Thank You .

[@withTOKKI]

I’m so glad you liked it ❤️🥹 Ramen is another level in Tokyo~

[@deeveed_]

i know AFURI is a chain but it soooo good. Yuzu flavor is something you dont get often in the states, also their charred chasu was amazing

[@withTOKKI]

saaame!! I loved it so much. even the vegan ramen was reallyyy good 🥹🍜

[@tudinail]

Just subscribed to your channel! Amazing japan content, how have your views not blown up by now?! Can't wait to see more.

[@withTOKKI]

thank you and welcome to my channel!! 🫶🏼 I took a short break, but will be sharing a lot of new content soon! tyy so much for your support and kind words 🥹♥️

[@ploypotter]

Add to my to-eat-list for my next trip to Tokyo! 💕💕💕💕

[@withTOKKI]

yay!! Let me know which ends up being your fav~

[@jfoxlim1966]

All of them look delicious and spectacular thanks

[@withTOKKI]

Must visit shops from ramen heads like you and me 🥰🍜 lmk which you think would be your fav ❤️

[@ericleeSupSayK]

Was in Japan a few years ago and Rokurinsha was easily one of my favourite meals!

[@withTOKKI]

same!! So much flavor and the noodle texture was chef’s kiss ✨🥹

[@thanhiclez]

First time I found Tsukemen in Japan in my visit in 2010 at Fuunji. New experience of eating ramen, so delish. Can't wait for my trip back in 2024

[@withTOKKI]

I’ve never been to Fuunji but heard it is amazing! Did you already go back? 😍

[@thanhiclez]

@@withTOKKI Just returned from my trip a few days ago. The tsukemen at Fuunji was just as good as I remembered it at both their stores, Ramen street and their original location. The one at Ramen street was less packed and more spacious. I had ramen at Afuri and Menya Kaijin thanks to this video. Did not disappoint.

[@kenghoelim5857]

Thanks for the recommendations. I would like you to try Mutekiya at Ikebukuro. My all time favourite.

[@dirtyduck10]

Those noodles looks so good

[@jaychu3850]

Finally someone with some taste …..

[@kristinl3640]

Those places look amazing! Have you tried Ippudo? That’s my favorite in Japan but I will try your suggestion too 💜

[@Suitednlooted]

Thank you so much for these videos! I’m going to Tokyo in 2 months and I have no idea of where to start.

[@withTOKKI]

You’re going to have the best time 🥹❤️ ramen tastes extra good too during the cold weather ❄️😍 enjoyyy and thank you, I’m so glad it helped! 😌

[@Sora-YourKoreaTourGuide-ur8jr]

Ramen looks soooo goood😊yum

[@withTOKKI]

thank youuu! Yes ramen in Japan is amazing!!!

[@moi21212]

Best ramen rew i´ve seen! thank you so much for inspiration- greetings from , sweden, stockholm.

[@derekchen7855]

All the locals have always said ichiran is just for tourists for experience....ramen is just ok

[@sonny9054]

Hi. I’m also a local but I wouldn’t say it’s only for tourists. Having said that, it is definitely a chain restaurant. The quality is above average, but by no means one of the best. Like you say, you can walk into a regular ramen joint that is attracting a decent number of customers, and have a nice bowl of delicious ramen. Make sure you know what type of broth they use as this will change the character of the ramen significantly.

[@whiskyfox7943]

It's bad and expensive

[@Chaldean1985]

It’s hyped and commercial and ppl with no brain fall for that

[@woodox7086]

They are right! 😂

[@joekim4345]

it takes a ramen lover to eat ramen 7 days in a row! I think I can do 14 days easy!

[@_tonya]

I would love to try that red snapper shio ramen!!

[@withTOKKI]

I think that one was my favorite! 😍 red snapper broth was so cleannn ✨ close, second and thirds (&not sure which order) was the shio duck + shoyu chicken / duck ramens. So good. 🤤

[@BrendanK-cw6fm]

I only tried 2 out of 7. Got to try the rest in my next Japan trip

[@nancywibowo8632]

I love Hakata style tonkotsu ramen. What is your opinion why choose a light broth ?

[@grechan]

Hi again. I happened to be in Ueno today and so stopped by your No. 4 here, Kamo to Negi. I'll echo your thoughts here - what an outstanding bowl of soup. I got the Confit Ramen for 1260 yen ($8.50 currently) because I like duck, like, a lot. I'm usually not as into the sappari-kei - I like Tonkotsu-Shoyu/Ie-kei and even at my favorite shop go for the Niboshi Kitakata style. BUT, that duck and roasted green onion broth was just superb. The 30 minute wait was well worth it.

[@withTOKKI]

omg yay!! I’m so glad you loved it. I became a huge fan of duck ramen after Kamo to Negi. agreeeee 💯 would wait 30 min again ♥️

[@pavankumarpatil3737]

Keep posting ramen videos!

[@withTOKKI]

oooh! Ty! I will ☺️

[@mariusalex22]

Convinced me to go to the asian restaurant as soon as possible to try ramen soup🙂

[@withTOKKI]

I’m about to eat ramen now tooo hehe

[@LuisArias-ui5dw]

Food looks good Tokki 😋🌹🇯🇵

[@withTOKKI]

Thank you ❤️ Every ramen shop was incredible! 🤤

[@woodox7086]

I JUST went to hayashida ramen and i have to say that it was amazing. I got the dried sardine broth (it was the last one available, the rest sold out!) and it was a burst of fishy flavour. I was also able to try the shoyu broth but the fishy flavour suited me more 😊 Fun fact: after rewatching the video, i actually sat exactly where tokki did !!!! Ty for the recommendations :D

[@withTOKKI]

your comment made me sooo happy today!! 🥹🫶🏼 literally brought me back to eating at Ramen Hayashida 🍜 loveee that you tried the nodoguro ramen and that we sat in the same spot ✨ lmk if you have any new recs for me! ♥️

[@woodox7086]

[@yamaguchitoshio]

Thks to upload! Ichiran is very famous here in Japan but not for my taste. I will try Hayashida next time.

[@Multi2794]

😊 awesome

[@badabing8884]

Can defo recommend both Ichiran and Rokarinsha’s Tsukemen. 🍜🍜

[@davidking7205]

watching this while eating my Mr. Noodles :D

[@withTOKKI]

I’ve never tried Mr. Noodles before but I would love to! It’s a Canadian brand? I wonder if I can order some online 🫶🏼 thank you for watching ❤️

[@tubetop123]

Amazing ramen. BTW, recommend a thinner eye liner.

[@bartlomiejadamus84]

Ramen is fantastic food, and i think i would make 7 ramen on one day 😅

[@withTOKKI]

🤣 I could totally see it. If we didn’t have the “100 things to do in Tokyo” video to film, we probably would have eaten 7 ramen in a single day too 😜

[@edobrien1000]

Tokki, do you have any LA/Orange County Ramen spots you can recommend? For Udon I really like Meiji Seimen in Costa Mesa but it’s always so crowded

[@LanceSanity]

The tsukemen in fuunji is really good

[@withTOKKI]

I’ll add Fuunji to my list! 👀❤️Thank you~~

[@justinmykitchen]

I love fuunji too-they gave extra noodles free of charge (idk if they still do)

[@Yokikzbasurero]

Wowww yummy watching from d piliphines....

[@seinundzeiten]

maybe you can do a 14 days in all- Japan ramen

[@grnamin]

Thank you for this video. Did you happen to notice if Ichiran broth was a little sweet?

[@withTOKKI]

Hmm it didn’t taste sweet to me. More savory and rich. Especially if you add the garlic, I think mainly garlic notes ☺️

[@grnamin]

@@withTOKKI Thank you!

[@themrgumbatron]

nice guide!

[@Cloud777-7]

I will be landing I Tokyo on the 8th!!!

[@withTOKKI]

I’m late to this but how was your trip?!✈️✨♥️

[@blackjackandmore6774]

hosenka has a interesting dinning environment compared to most iv seen

[@withTOKKI]

it’s prob my top fav everr

[@LinaMulyadi-yo8vm]

Must Try Kyushuu Janggara at Harajuku

[@alexsakon]

Going to Ichiran in Japan is like going to McDonalds. Don’t recommend unless you don’t have any better choices, which there always are.

[@justinmykitchen]

So cool that you speak Japanese! Do you only speak Japanese when interacting with restaurant staff and chefs??

[@withTOKKI]

🤣 yes~ and also to ask for directions a lot since Google maps is so-so for navigating walking paths 😌

[@justinmykitchen]

@@withTOKKI I loved the little segment where you spoke Japanese to the waitress and translated on screen! I would love to see more casual conversations with chefs and restaurant staff in future videos! I love all the ramen you featured and have them all written down for our next trip :)

[@withTOKKI]

ありがとう（＾∇＾）がんばります😌❤

[@whindian1218]

Anyone who hates on ichiran is a fool. It’s solid if you just want a straightforward spicy tonkatsu ramen.

[@DoogtorEd]

Considering Ichiran one of the best Ramen in Tokyo, is like going to the USA looking for the best Burger in the states and going to McDonalds...

[@withTOKKI]

I think maybe more like going to In N Out 🙂‍↔️ if’s affordable, made with care, but I agree - it’s just the baseline. My fav was hosenka or hayashida!!

[@seahirro164]

Hi Tokki, I watched100 things to do in Tokyo as well, Ikebukuro is Ramen Heaven , so I recommend to come there again if you back again. by Ikebukuro Citizen.

[@withTOKKI]

Wow thank you for watching both of my videos 🥹❤️ I would love to try the Ikebukuro ramen scene, ty so much for the recommendation! Do you have a favorite ramen there?

[@denisubagja5032]

after ten days eating ramen, did feel something wrong with your stomach?

[@withTOKKI]

only 7 days! haha we were ok 🥹 & wanted more

[@TheTajimajpn]

kanda kikanbo、Plesse go!

[@withTOKKI]

I just looked up Kanda Kikanbo! It looks soooo good!!! I will have to try ❤️❤️❤️

[@edobrien1000]

Hi Tokki, do you have a TikTok page?? Love your videos

[@withTOKKI]

I do have a TikTok, it’s @withtokki! :) but unfortunately I haven’t been posting there for a while. :’( Mainly focus on KZbin and Instagram. But lmk if TikTok would be more helpful. I can start posting there again ☺️

[@ああ-p1l6t]

全て外国人観光客を相手にしたラーメン屋です。六厘舎はマシですが20年前では美味しいレベル。今は他にもっと美味しい店はたくさんあります。 本当に美味しい店は家賃の高い場所に開店しません

[@withTOKKI]

そうですね。一番好きなレストランは何ですか。　大丈夫なら行きたいですよ♥️

[@autisticusmaximus9562]

Best ramen is the hole in the wall or the place that’s been around for decades.

[@pleanne8376]

they touch your ticket and then, your food??!

[@shadyganaem5342]

not trying ippudo is wild

[@grechan]

Wow, it's great to be young! My Cardiologist would have a heart attack if I did this...

[@grechan]

Overall a really nice video. As a fairly fluent Japanese speaker, I find your accent interesting. Sometimes (afuri, Ichiran, even your pronunciation of ramen) your pronunciation is spot on. Other times, you abandon it (Rokurinsha, Kamo to Negi where the G should be hard like google rather than soft like gender). I imagine this is something related to being heritage bilingual. Anyway. Interesting to me as a listener. I haven't finished the video yet, but I hope you go to Menya Shichisai.

[@withTOKKI]

wow! I will have to try Menya Shichisai, thank you so much. Yes, I speak English, Korean, and conversational Japanese, 🤣 not perfectly- and sometimes my accents get misplaced while I’m speaking. 🥲 I’ll try to keep it more consistent. 😅 I’m so happy you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. 🙇🏻‍♀️❤️

[@grechan]

Cool! When you get to Shichisai, let me know! I’ll be going there in November and will try one or two of the shops from your list too!

[@lrg2fresh]

One More question gurl does it always smell like da fish???

[@withTOKKI]

The fish / seafood ramen does not taste fishy. Just super savory and comforting ❤

[@lrg2fresh]

[@bk1507]

any tokyo ramen list with ichiran on it is not a list worth taking seriously honestly

[@beverlyteh4676]

Kamo to Negi…if you’re Japanese why did you pronounce it so strangely?

[@withTOKKI]

watched too much Naruto dub as a kid 🤣 sneaks up once in a while

[@madrid1010]

Stopped at Ichiran

[@kirksmith1534]

Eating with baseball caps seems lazy and creepy. Come on men…

[@h.e.a311]

I think the first one is the best the rest are not delicious 😂😂😂 It isclear on their faces.

[@外露射武]

Ichiran = for tourists🤭 Most Japanese prefer soy sauce & salt ramen.

[@Mew77778]

Ichiran is so overrated

[@carlosaquilayan945]

Ichiran isn't even good ahuhuhu

[@stevennguyen4309]

Terrible list

[@grokker99]

Is it just me or is Ramen overrated? heavy, greasy, and bland imo.

[@withTOKKI]

The ones in Tokyo- especially the shio (salt based broths) are incredible. Hosenka was my fav! Sea bream ramen- so good, flavorful and not heavy at all 😍

[@peacay]

It's just you.
