Harajuku and Omotesando, stylish neighborhoods known for their iconic zelkova tree-lined streets, are also surprisingly fierce battlegrounds for ramen!
Having established themselves as trendsetting hubs for fashion, gourmet food, and culture, Harajuku and Omotesando attract a diverse crowd year-round, from trend-conscious youth and businesspeople to shoppers and tourists.
Many international tourists even say that eating ramen is a must-do when visiting Japan.
We've compiled a list of "Delicious Ramen in Harajuku and Omotesando" that even these discerning, well-informed individuals are willing to queue for.
Ramen, which is now practically a national dish, has been said to be popular because it's convenient, affordable, and filling. However, the enduring popularity of ramen lies in the profound depth of Japanese ramen as a cuisine.
Even the broth alone comes in a rich variety, including soy sauce, miso, salt, tonkotsu (pork bone), and tori-paitan (creamy chicken broth).
As for the noodles, there are straight noodles and wavy noodles, and six different thicknesses: extra-thin, thin, medium-thin, medium, thick, and extra-thick. There are also variations in noodle hardness, color, flavor, and texture depending on the ingredients and water content.
The reason why the combination of broth and noodles is said to be the most important factor for delicious ramen can be attributed to this rich variety of broths and noodles.
Each shop constantly experiments and strives to create the perfect bowl, which is why so many ramen shops are born, each with a unique ramen that captivates many and makes them want to visit again and again.
The history of Omotesando and Harajuku, which began as the approach to Meiji Jingu Shrine, spans over 100 years.
Omotesando and Harajuku's ramen shops have grown and been cherished alongside this long history.
Please enjoy discovering ramen that you'll truly want to savor down to the last drop!
