Tokyo Station Ikaruga (東京駅 斑鳩)
Unlike your usual ramen experienceMost of the famous ramen shops in Tokyo usually come with oily and salty soup, but in Ikaruga, you can try a more refreshing ramen soup with seafood taste. Purchase tickets from the vending machine outside the shop, then grab a seat inside and you will have your bowl of ramen after 10 minutes. Pay attention to the delicious soft-boiled eggs and chashu pork. They are amazing! With an affordable price tag, its ramen starts from 780 yen.
