"The Ginza location is a small shop with only about 10 counter seats, but there's always a line, even on weekdays, evenings, and late nights. It seems like mostly foreign customers. I don't like waiting in line, so I sometimes go at 11 am when they open. Before the ramen, they bring out a small cup of broth. It's a comforting sip. My favorite ra"

"I finally got to try the famous omurice I'd seen all over Instagram! 🍳 I'd heard there were long lines, but I was able to get in right away at 11:30 am on a weekday! However, there was a line forming when I left, so it's probably best to go at a time other than lunchtime on weekdays. The interior has a classic coffee shop vibe.☕️ They only accep"

"This is a renowned restaurant where you can savor exquisite Chinese-style ramen that blends Japanese and French flavors. The only menu item is the Chinese-style ramen, but the broth is truly exceptional. The flavor of the broth is so remarkable that you won't feel the need for any additional seasoning. I had the Ravioli Gourmandises ramen, which"
