Ichiran, Asian restaurant in Shinjuku, Japan.
Ichiran is a ramen restaurant in Shinjuku specializing in tonkotsu ramen made from a rich pork bone broth simmered for many hours. The menu offers various toppings and side dishes that complement the core bowl of noodles.
Founded in 1960, this establishment started as a small neighborhood ramen shop with a focused menu. It gradually expanded into an international chain while preserving its original broth formula and cooking techniques.
The individual booths separated by bamboo screens create a focused dining space where customers can enjoy their meal in privacy without distractions around them.
The restaurant is located near Shinjuku Station and operates nearly around the clock with extended hours. Orders are placed using a vending machine system, making the process quick and straightforward.
Customers can customize their ramen in detail using a special order form where they select noodle texture, broth intensity, and garlic level. This degree of personalization for a simple dish sets it apart from most other ramen shops.
