Ramen Street, Tokyo Station

After I got back from Hamamatsu, I stopped at Tokyo station to have dinner at Ramen Street, which is located on the basement floor in the retail complex 1st Avenue.

There are 8 ramen shops located in this ramen-dedicated part of the station, and all the major ramen styles are represented.

The most popular ramen shop at Ramen Street is Rokuinsha, which is famous for tsukumen dipping noodles, but as you probably know by now, I’m a tonkotsu (rich, pork-based broth) kind of girl, so I headed for Ikaruga instead.

I purchased my ramen voucher in the vending machine and lined up. In addition to different kinds of ramen, you could also purchase gyoza (Japanese dumplings) and other sides as well as different beverages.

At most ramen shops, the ramen bowls are so large that it takes quite an appetite, just to finish the ramen, so usually I skip the sides. Sometimes I order a coke or a beer along with my ramen, but plain water or green tea, which is complimentary, is often the best match.

It didn’t take long to get a seat, and only a few minutes later a big bowl of divine tonkotsu ramen arrived. Turned out, I had ordered the spicy ramen, so it came with a dash of chili oil, which actually went really well with the heavy broth. Slurp, slurp, slurp and the ramen was gone.

If you like spicy ramen, then you also have to try Kikanbo in Tokyo

Hi, I'm Sanne. Welcome to Mitzie Mee, my food and travel blog, with a special love for New York City. Food has always been at the heart of the way I travel. I love discovering local restaurants, neighborhood cafes, street food stalls, and recipes. On Mitzie Mee, I share the places I love, along with travel guides, recipes, and tips to help you make the most of your own adventures. Before becoming a full-time blogger, I spent years working in the travel industry. I started as a tour rep in Greece and Spain, worked eight years as cabin crew, earned my commercial pilot license, and flew as an airline pilot out of Denmark and Sweden. These days, I travel the world with my fiancé Steve, always looking for memorable food experiences and places worth sharing. Everything you see on Mitzie Mee is based on my own travels, and I hope it inspires your next trip, your next meal, or both.

Mitzie Mee - Sanne

Welcome to my Tokyo blog. Tokyo is one of those cities I never get tired of. I've been back many times over the years, and every visit leaves me with a longer list of places I want to try next time. For me, Tokyo has always been about the food. It's the city where I'll happily get up early for a sushi breakfast, where some of the best meals are served at tiny ramen counters with barely enough seats for a handful of people, and where I can spend hours wandering from one café to the next without any real plan. What keeps drawing me back, though, is the atmosphere. Tokyo somehow manages to feel calm and intense at the same time. You can stroll through quiet residential streets lined with small shops and neighborhood cafés, then suddenly find yourself in the middle of Shibuya, surrounded by flashing signs, crowds, and nonstop energy. Those contrasts are part of what makes the city so special, and no matter how often I visit, I always come across somewhere new. On my Tokyo blog, I've gathered the places I've genuinely enjoyed. Restaurants I'd recommend to friends, cafés worth making a detour for, neighborhoods I love exploring, and hotels I'd stay at again. Whether you're planning your first trip to Tokyo or your fifth, I hope you'll find plenty of inspiration, along with practical tips to help you make the most of your visit.
