3 Outstanding Ramen Restaurants in Tokyo that are Popular Among Locals

Though its origins lie in China, ramen is a noodle dish that evolved in Japan. Over the years, regional flavors were born - such as salt, miso, and soy sauce - and the dish is now considered to be a soul food dish for the Japanese. This article introduces 3 outstanding restaurants in the ramen battleground of Tokyo.

1. Chinese Restaurant Lotus Moon Shin Marunouchi Building

This restaurant is located in a building that is directly connected to Tokyo Station. Here, you can enjoy creative cuisine that adds flavors from Shanghai, Beijing, Canton, and Sichuan to Zhejiang cuisine, which is one of the Eight Culinary Traditions of Chinese cuisine. Its specialty is the [Tantanmen] (Dan Dan Noodles), which comes in 3 different flavors: the standard [Shiro] (white), the [Kuro] (black) with sansho peppers added to a black sesame soup, and the [Aka] (red) with a red sesame soup and plenty of red pepper. Other popular menu items include the [Yawaraka Hinadori no Tokusei Negi-shoyu] - consisting of domestic young chicken that's been steamed for a long time with Jinhua pork and pot herbs - and the [Teppan Futo Gyoza], which is a dish of grilled dumplings with juicy fillings that are wrapped in chewy wrappers.
