Hayashi

Hayashi is a renowned seafood tonkotsu ramen shop located in Dogenzaka, Shibuya. Since its opening in 2003, it has been selected as one of Tokyo's Top 100 Shops for nine consecutive years and boasts a Tabelog rating of 3.78, making it a representative bowl of Shibuya. The menu is simple, featuring only three types: Ramen, Ajitama Ramen, and Chashu Ramen. The self-taught owner creates a double soup of seafood and animal bases that is rich yet light on the palate, characterized by a perfect balance that allows you to finish every last drop. Mikawaya Seimen's medium-thin straight noodles, tender pork shoulder loin chashu, and a refreshing yuzu accent complete each bowl. It operates on a ticket vending machine system and accepts cash only. While long lines are inevitable even on weekdays, the service is quick, ensuring a good turnover.
