Japanese Ramen Gokan

A Michelin-listed and Tabelog Top 100 Shops selection, this ramen restaurant operates strictly by reservation. Reservation slots for the following Wednesday-Sunday open every Sunday at 10 AM on TableCheck, but are snapped up instantly due to immense popularity. Please arrive 10 minutes prior to your reservation time, enter after name confirmation, and order using the ticket machine. The signature Shio Ramen is a delicate bowl featuring a rich, umami-filled soup crafted from clam dashi and chicken oil, paired with thin straight noodles. The three types of char siu – seared local chicken, pork shoulder loin, and pork belly – are also prepared with exceptional care. The Shoyu Ramen and limited-time Miso Ramen also receive high praise. The side dish, Charcoal-Grilled Meat Rice, is popular but frequently sells out. The ticket machine offers English descriptions, allowing international guests to enjoy a smooth experience once a reservation is secured. Cash only. No back-to-back meals (one meal per visit).
