Fuji Ramen
富士らーめん
Overview
“Fuji Ramen,” a Kumamoto-style tonkotsu (pork bone broth) ramen shop with a Tokyo arrangement, is located along Asakusa Kokusai Dori, a 2-minute walk from Tsukuba Express Asakusa Station. With over 12 years of history since its opening, the shop's master was inspired over 20 years ago by “Torai,” a famous Kumamoto ramen shop in Kashiwa (now defunct), leading him to research and develop his own unique Kyushu-style tonkotsu (pork bone broth) ramen, which is now the signature offering. The signature ramen (1100 yen) features a Kumamoto tonkotsu (pork bone broth) soup with a Tokyo arrangement, topped with mayu (burnt garlic oil) and a generous amount of cabbage, presenting a visual characteristic of Kumamoto tonkotsu. The soup is slightly cloudy, distinguished by a strong saltiness that accentuates a rich umami flavor. It offers a unique profile: not the mellow richness typically associated with fat in conventional tonkotsu (pork bone broth) soups, but a distinct richness that highlights the pork bone umami with salt, maintaining a refreshing quality. The noodles are medium-thick, firm, straight, and homemade. The slight daily variations in texture and taste are part of their handmade charm. The chashu (braised pork) topping is thick and substantial, boasting a savory soy sauce flavor and a melt-in-your-mouth texture. The Fuji Special (1600 yen) is a highly satisfying all-inclusive option, featuring three slices of chashu, a seasoned egg, and extra cabbage. With a very high percentage of international visitors, the staff are fluent in foreign languages, making it a popular and reliable choice for tonkotsu (pork bone broth) ramen in Asakusa for overseas travelers.

4Other
The soup is a Tokyo-arranged Kumamoto-style tonkotsu (pork bone) broth, slightly cloudy. It's seasoned with a strong salty flavor that brings out a rich umami, following a unique approach that emphasizes pork bone umami with salt, rather than the stereotypical creamy richness from pork fat in tonkotsu soup. While it has the visual characteristics of Kumamoto tonkotsu with mayu (black garlic oil) and a generous amount of cabbage, the actual soup is not overly rich. The noodles are medium-thick, firm, and straight. The slight variation in noodle texture and taste day by day is a charming characteristic of homemade noodles. The chashu topping is thick, substantial, and has a melt-in-your-mouth texture.

Miso Mendokoro Tasakaya (Ikebukuro): Navigating the Japanese-Only Ticket Machine and a Review of its Robust Miso Ramen
Miso Mendokoro Tasakaya, a miso ramen specialist located in Nishi-Ikebukuro, is just about a 5-minute walk from Ikebukuro Station's West Exit. This shop is known for its hearty miso ramen: a thick, rich, slightly sweet miso broth, firm thick noodles, melt-in-your-mouth chashu, and a towering pile of crisp bean sprouts (moyashi) – a truly robust and voluminous bowl. The menu features four main series: Miso Ramen, Kara-Miso Ramen (spicy miso), Aemen (a brothless mixed noodle dish), and IWGP Geki-Kara Ramen (extra hot). This guide, based on our visit on Friday, May 22, 2026 (arrived at 6:39 PM with a 13-person queue), provides photos and tips for first-time visitors to Japan. We'll cover how to navigate the Japanese-only, no-photo ticket vending machine using a color guide, understand the queuing situation (only 9 counter seats and long noodle cooking times mean slower turnover), tips to avoid crowds, and the cash-only payment policy.

Ramen Jiro "Kabuji" (Shinjuku-Kabukicho): The Complete Guide to Jiro Calls and Timing
Just a 1-minute walk from Seibu-Shinjuku Station North Exit, Ramen Jiro Shinjuku-Kabukicho, affectionately known as Kabuji (a nickname combining Kabukicho + Jiro), is the fourth oldest chokkei (direct-lineage) shop of the Ramen Jiro chain. Its late-night hours from 11:30 AM to 2:30 AM (Mon, Tue, Thu-Sun, closed Wed) are a unique advantage among chokkei shops, making it ideal for combining with Kabukicho sightseeing or as a late-night ramen after drinks. With its semi-emulsified pork-bone shoyu broth, homemade flat thick wavy noodles, unique call (shouted topping order ritual) culture (Ninniku (raw grated garlic), Yasai (boiled bean sprouts on top), Abura (solid back fat for richness), Karame (extra soy tare for stronger salty taste), Mashi (more, about 1.5×), Sukuname (less, about half)), the chokkei system of ticket-folding (a wordless system to request firmer or softer noodles by folding the meal ticket) to specify noodle hardness, lot system (a Jiro-specific eating rhythm where the same batch of customers finish together) manners, and specific rules (no phone calls, no photography except ramen, no drunken entry), this article provides a complete guide based on our visit on May 15, 2026, where we ordered a Small Ramen (¥950) with the call 'Ninniku Sukuname, Yasai, Abura'.
