🍜 Itabashi, Japan — Ramen Ranking

あさひ町内会

Known for Sapporo Sumire-style miso ramen, Asahi Chonaikai is a standout shop right by Itabashi Kuyakusho-mae Station in Itabashi, Tokyo, chosen as one of Japan's 100 Best Ramen Shops for four straight years since 2022. It is celebrated for a rich, piping-hot broth topped with a layer of lard and for its medium-thick, wavy noodles, which pair beautifully with the miso chashu ramen (miso ramen with sliced braised pork) and with a side of rice. The interior is bright and spotlessly clean, and thoughtful touches such as free naruto (fish cake) for children make it a place where even solo diners can settle in and enjoy their meal with ease.

This shop is known for a chicken paitan ramen (rich chicken bone broth) that tastes deeply flavorful and clean at the same time. The salt version, hakuto ramen shio, is 850 yen, and squeezing in the lemon that comes with it partway through refreshes the flavor so you can enjoy the bowl two ways. The rich broth carries no unpleasant smell, and the thin noodles catch it beautifully, while the soy sauce version offers a full, satisfying depth. The toppings are generous, and a favorite way to finish is to add a small portion of rice to the remaining broth for an ojiya-style porridge ending. It is a celebrated chicken paitan destination.

自家製麺No11

Located in front of the Itabashi ward office, Jimen No11 is a hearty ramen shop in the Jiro and Fujimaru style. The house-made extra-thick noodles have a firm, chewy bite that clings beautifully to a rich, slightly sweet broth loaded with the savory depth of pork. Each bowl comes piled high with thick-cut slices of chashu (braised pork), and you can change up the flavor as you go with toppings such as garlic, vegetables, extra pork fat, and ginger sauce. The ramen is priced in the 1,200 yen range and ordered by meal ticket, making this a favorite among local ramen lovers.

Men-ya Hachidori is a niboshi (dried-sardine) ramen shop on the Kyu-Nakasendo shopping street near the Itabashi Ward Office. Its signature niboshi ramen (soy sauce, 930 yen) and the super niboshi ramen (920 yen) pair a clear broth with a deep umami likened to biting into whole dried sardines, and the balance of chicken and niboshi is well praised. The back-fat niboshi bowl is rich with pork fat yet never cloying, and the low-hydration, straight thin noodles from Mikawaya are hailed as "supreme" for their chewy bite. The tender, well-seasoned chashu pork and the mini chashu rice bowl (280 yen at lunch) are also popular. With counter and table seating in a spacious interior, the shop welcomes strollers and wheelchairs, accepts cash and various cashless payments, and offers a bowl that everyone from children to seniors can enjoy with ease.

Near Tokiwadai Station in Tokyo's Itabashi ward, this chuka soba (Japanese-style ramen) shop is renowned for its shellfish broth, served at a counter of eight seats made from pale unvarnished wood. The rich, aromatic stock draws on a generous quantity of asari clams and scallops combined with kombu kelp from southern Hokkaido, then layered with pork bone to give the soup real depth and complexity. Alongside the signature "kai-dashi shio ramen" (shellfish-broth salt ramen), you can enjoy shellfish rice and abura soba (brothless noodles tossed in seasoned oil). The two kinds of chashu pork and the clean, tidy interior are also well received, making for a bowl light enough to drink down to the last drop.
