Tsukemen - Rokurinsha. The dipping sauce was wonde Tsukemen - Rokurinsha. The dipping sauce was wonderfully thick and had just a little fish flavor to it. Served with thick noodles. As my tastes have evolved over the years, I’ve really grown to enjoy soup/dipping sauces that have the strong fish flavors. It’s more complex and bitter. An acquired taste for sure. 🍜 I wasn’t planning on eating here since I had some ramen about 45 minutes prior to coming to the airport. I had zero regrets stuffing more noodles in my face. Can’t wait to come back to Japan in 2023. 🍜 🍜 🍜 #ramenzac #ramen #ramenhead #noramennolife #ramennoodles #ramenpatrol #lafoodie #foodblogger #ramen_cp #ramenjunkie #oishii #ramen4life #japanramen #ramenpatrol #ramendiscoveries#ramendatabase #ramendirectory #ramenheads #hanedaairport #Rokurinsha #tsukemen 🍜 🍜 #ラーメン#ラーメン大好き#ラーメン部#ラーメン食べたい#ラーメンパトロール#ラーメン巡り

Special Shoyu - Ramen Mizna. Chicken, pork, porci Special Shoyu - Ramen Mizna. Chicken, pork, porcini mushroom, and several blends of soy sauce form the soup base. Topped with pork chashu, seaweed, fresh leafy greens, and porcini mushrooms paste. Medium thick noodles. On the side is extra chashu, egg, and bamboo. Side pastes are chopped ginger/ Spicy yuzu kosho/ Oyasumi oil. This was another amazing bowl in Japan and was perfect for the cold weather. This was my last day in Tokyo and last place before heading to the airport. 🍜 🍜 🍜 🍜 #ramenzac #ramen #ramenhead #noramennolife #ramennoodles #ramenpatrol #lafoodie #foodblogger #ramen_cp #ramenjunkie #oishii #ramen4life #japanramen #ramenpatrol #ramendiscoveries#ramendatabase #ramendirectory #ramenheads #ramenmizna #akasaka #shoyuramen 🍜 🍜 #ラーメン#ラーメン大好き#ラーメン部#ラーメン食べたい#ラーメンパトロール#ラーメン巡り

Shio Ramen - Ramen Mizna. Clam and scallop broth i Shio Ramen - Ramen Mizna. Clam and scallop broth in this bowl makes for a really gorgeous seafood flavor. Whole wheat noodles make for easy slurping. The condiments were yuzu kosho, garlic, and lemon ginger. I’ve never had ramen with clam and/or scallops that wasn’t delicious, including this bowl. Amazing seafood bowl here. 🍜 🍜 🍜 🍜 #ramenzac #ramen #ramenhead #noramennolife #ramennoodles #ramenpatrol #lafoodie #foodblogger #ramen_cp #ramenjunkie #oishii #ramen4life #japanramen #ramenpatrol #ramendiscoveries#ramendatabase #ramendirectory #ramenheads #ramenmizna #akasaka #clams #scallops #shioramen 🍜 🍜 #ラーメン#ラーメン大好き#ラーメン部#ラーメン食べたい#ラーメンパトロール#ラーメン巡り
Pineapple (Shoyu) Ramen - Papapapapine Ramen. This Pineapple (Shoyu) Ramen - Papapapapine Ramen. This is similar to the shio version, but it’s got the soy sauce added and has a strong shrimp flavor to it. As with the shio bowl, it’s best to try and get a little bit off everything in your spoon and slurp from that. 🍜 🍜 This shop is 100% committed to the pineapple and it’s apparent with the vibe of the shop. Nothing but pineapple decorations and you feel like you’ve been transported to a tropical island while still being in Tokyo. They even have a pineapple flavored beer that’s refreshing. 🍜 🍜 🍜 🍜 #ramenzac #ramen #ramenhead #noramennolife #ramennoodles #ramenpatrol #lafoodie #foodblogger #ramen_cp #ramenjunkie #oishii #ramen4life #japanramen #ramenpatrol #ramendiscoveries #ramendatabase #ramendirectory #ramenheads #shoyuramen #Pineapple #Papapapapine #tokyo #japan #machida 🍜 🍜 #ラーメン#ラーメン大好き#ラーメン部#ラーメン食べたい#ラーメンパトロール#ラーメン巡り

Pineapple Ramen - Papapapapine Ramen. This is the Pineapple Ramen - Papapapapine Ramen. This is the shio version. I believe the soup has seafood and kelp base with some pineapple juice added. I added an egg which happens to be a bright yellow and was really tasty. The noodles were thin. I found that to really enjoy this bowl you had to have a little soup, some noodles, and a slice of pineapple topping all at once. 🍜 🍜 🍜 I originally heard about this ramen 6 years ago watching a video that @ramenadventures did on this place. Ever since then it’s been on my bucket list. It sounded strange and interesting all at the same time. So glad I finally got to try this tropical style ramen. If you love pineapple and you are in the area, def try this shop. It’s one of a kind. 🍜 🍜 🍜 #ramenzac #ramen #ramenhead #noramennolife #ramennoodles #ramenpatrol #lafoodie #foodblogger #ramen_cp #ramenjunkie #oishii #ramen4life #japanramen #ramenpatrol #ramendiscoveries#ramendatabase #ramendirectory #ramenheads #Pineapple #shioramen #Papapapapine #tokyo #japan #machida 🍜 🍜 #ラーメン#ラーメン大好き#ラーメン部#ラーメン食べたい#ラーメンパトロール#ラーメン巡り

Hot and Sour Noodles - Yagu Noodle. As the sign on Hot and Sour Noodles - Yagu Noodle. As the sign on the front implies, this shops specialty is chicken based broth. This particular bowl is similar to a hot and sour soup you’d get in a Chinese establishment, but with a ramen twist. Topped with egg, minced meat, green onion, and fried onion. Delicious slice of chicken under the toppings. Smooth noodles. This bowl wasn’t as spicy as it appears, a bit more on the sour side. It was really tasty. It might be a limited time menu item, so book your travel today to hit this place up NOW. 🍜 🍜 🍜 🍜 One of my favorite things about ramen is the variety that is available. This is a perfect example. It’s different from the tradition shoyu and shio bowls we are used to. I wish I could get something like this in LA. 🍜 🍜 🍜 #ramenzac #ramen #ramenhead #noramennolife #ramennoodles #ramenpatrol #lafoodie #foodblogger #ramen_cp #ramenjunkie #oishii #ramen4life #japanramen #ramenpatrol #ramendiscoveries#ramendatabase #ramendirectory #ramenheads #yagu-noodle #hotandsour 🍜 🍜 #ラーメン#ラーメン大好き#ラーメン部#ラーメン食べたい#ラーメンパトロール#ラーメン巡り
Shoyu Ramen - Ramen Iida Shoten. Soup starts out Shoyu Ramen - Ramen Iida Shoten. Soup starts out as clear chicken broth. Paired with several different styles of soy sauce that makes this so luxurious. Topped with bamboo, onions, seaweed, and pork. Smooth and silky noodles, for easy slurping. Obviously, sourcing the finest ingredients such as chicken, soy sauce, and wheat leads to the incredible flavor of this soup and easy slurping noodles. 🍜 🍜 🍜 🍜 This shop should be on your hit list when you are able to visit. 🍜 🍜 🍜 #ramenzac #ramen #ramenhead #noramennolife #ramennoodles #ramenpatrol #lafoodie #foodblogger #ramen_cp #ramenjunkie #oishii #ramen4life #japanramen #ramenpatrol #ramendiscoveries #shoyuramen #ramendatabase #ramendirectory #ramenheads #iida-san #Yugawara #iidashoten #らぁ麺飯田商店 🍜 🍜 #ラーメン#ラーメン大好き#ラーメン部#ラーメン食べたい#ラーメンパトロール#ラーメン巡り
Shio Ramen - Ramen Iida Shoten. This starts with Shio Ramen - Ramen Iida Shoten. This starts with the same clear chicken broth that was present in my shio tsukemen. Thin noodles, 3 pieces of chahsu, bamboo, Japanese scallion (just white part) and finished with yuzu citrus. Obviously, this was equally awesome and felt especially luxurious. 🍜 🍜 🍜 🍜 A tip for getting a reservation is to have everyone in your party register in advance on the Omakase reservation system. Once reservations open for the day you want to visit everyone should try separately to make a reservation for the party. Having everyone in your party make an attempt will greatly improve your chances of getting a spot. My wife and I tried and finally got a reservation about 5 minutes in to trying. All reservations sold out in 8 minutes. Good luck with your attempt. 🍜 🍜 @5amramen has a very helpful post that I leverage while planning my visit and I think you’ll appreciate it too if you plan to visit. 🍜 #ramenzac #ramen #ramenhead #noramennolife #ramennoodles #ramenpatrol #lafoodie #foodblogger #ramen_cp #ramenjunkie #oishii #ramen4life #japanramen #ramenpatrol #ramendiscoveries #shioramen #ramendatabase #ramendirectory #ramenheads #iida-san #Yugawara #iidashoten #らぁ麺飯田商店 🍜 🍜 #ラーメン#ラーメン大好き#ラーメン部#ラーメン食べたい#ラーメンパトロール#ラーメン巡り
Shio Tsukemen - Ramen Iida Shoten. This is served Shio Tsukemen - Ramen Iida Shoten. This is served with two broths. One, is a clear chicken flavored broth. This is best paired with the thick yellow noodles. The second broth is a light shoyu broth that is best paired with the other noodles that are served. The second set of noodles are more akin to soba noodles. 🍜 A side of lime, salts, wasabi, and plum are provided. Some seaweed and three pieces of chashu are also served on the plate with noodles. 🍜 After you’ve consumed some of the noodles they provide you with serving of kelp and bonito oil that you pour over your remaining noodles. Also, they provide you with some extra thin slices of pork that you add to the clear broth. Pull some of the noodles after the kelp/bonito and dip in the clear broth with some of the thin pork. It’s pretty sublime. 🍜 🍜 It’s hard to get a reservation, but luckily I struck gold when attempting as soon as the reservation system opened a week before my visit to the area. It’s pretty incredible that we lucked out with this reservation since we already had plans to come to this area for an overnight stay to enjoy a in room hot spring experience. 🍜 🍜 🍜 #ramenzac #ramen #ramenhead #noramennolife #ramennoodles #ramenpatrol #lafoodie #foodblogger #ramen_cp #ramenjunkie #oishii #ramen4life #japanramen #ramenpatrol #ramendiscoveries #ramendatabase #ramendirectory #ramenheads #iida-san #Yugawara #iidashoten #らぁ麺飯田商店 🍜 🍜 #ラーメン#ラーメン大好き#ラーメン部#ラーメン食べたい#ラーメンパトロール#ラーメン巡り
Three bowls from #1 ranked shop in Japan. Three bowls from #1 ranked shop in Japan.
Tantanmen from Kisurin - This is the same bowl as Tantanmen from Kisurin - This is the same bowl as the Paiko. But, missing the fried pork cutlet on top. This shop is small, like most shops in Japan. I recommend getting their early so you’ll be first in line. I discovered this shop via the ramen beast app. Thank god for @ramen_beast 🍜 🍜 🍜 #ramenzac #ramen #ramenhead #noramennolife #ramennoodles #ramenpatrol #lafoodie #foodblogger #ramen_cp #ramenjunkie #oishii #ramen4life #lafoodjunkie #japanramen #ramenpatrol #tantanmen 🍜 🍜 #ラーメン#ラーメン大好き#ラーメン部#ラーメン食べたい#ラーメンパトロール#ラーメン巡り
Paiko Tantanmen from Kisurin - I felt like I died Paiko Tantanmen from Kisurin - I felt like I died and went to tantanmen heaven. This shops soul focus is this style of ramen that has a creamy texture, strong sesame flavor, and topped with chili oil. As soon as you walk through the door, your nose is hit with a lovely aroma of curry spiced pork, sesame, and chili oil. This bowl comes in 5 levels of spice that should allow everyone try this one. 🍜 🍜 🍜 #ramenzac #ramen #ramenhead #noramennolife #ramennoodles #ramenpatrol #lafoodie #foodblogger #ramen_cp #ramenjunkie #oishii #ramen4life #lafoodjunkie #japanramen #ramenpatrol #tantanmen 🍜 🍜 #ラーメン#ラーメン大好き#ラーメン部#ラーメン食べたい#ラーメンパトロール#ラーメン巡り

This isn’t as spicy as it looks and it’s served with ice cubes in it that keeps the broth very chilled. This great for hot summer days. This also has that smokey cubed pork that’s present in their other bowls.
