This is a sightseeing article for the long-established ramen shop 'Ramen Kindenmaru Shibuya Main Store' in Shibuya.

Shibuya's Popular Ramen Shop that Captivates Ramen Enthusiasts

Just a 4-minute walk from the heart of Shibuya in Tokyo, you'll find the famous ramen shop 'Ramen Kindenmaru Shibuya Main Store,' beloved by locals. This shop is located in the so-called 'Ramen Building' in the Shibuya Center Street and is a popular long-established establishment that operates until late night, making it a representative figure of Shibuya's nighttime enjoyment.

Standout Tonkotsu Ramen with a Variety of Menu Options

The signature dish of this shop is the rich tonkotsu shoyu soup 'Meibutsu Tokumaru.' The chewy noodles intertwine with the rich W soup that has been simmered for a long time, providing an elegant taste. Toppings such as tender braised pork, char siu, and menma cannot be overlooked, and the texture of the toppings is also noteworthy.

Additionally, the unconventional 'Garlic Butter Cheese Maru' and the refreshing 'Yuzu Shio Maru' with a faint scent of yuzu are also popular choices. It's also a great point that you can customize the noodle thickness and flavor intensity to your preference when ordering.

Local Atmosphere and Access

Despite being a popular shop with long lines day and night, it has counter and table seats with a high turnover, so there is not much of a long wait. The interior has an artistic atmosphere reminiscent of Shibuya and is a space rich in international diversity, with over 70% of the guests being foreign tourists.

It is conveniently located just a 4-minute walk from Shibuya Station in this compact city. It's attractive that you can easily extend your visit to tourist spots such as the Scramble Crossing, Center Street, and Doganzaka. If you're a ramen enthusiast, why not stop by and see for yourself?

My wife enjoyed her dish, and the gyoza was delicious however only getting 1 slice of pork in ramen was a bit disappointing. Most other places a bit more generous - was good otherwise

Nice Tonkotsu pork bone broth ramen, light salt and smooth with soy. Can order thin or thick noodles. I went with the thick noodles and it is a very decent ramen. The gyoza is nice too and fresh. Pairs well with the light vinegar.

One of the first and best Ramen we had during our Tokyo visit! Other specialties are okay (Photo), but the Ramen was almost always the best choice here! Try it when you're near Shibuya Crossing

Didn't try the ramen but the gyozas hit the spot at 1.30am. Freshly made and tasted perfect. The shop is small but the person running it late in the night was helpful and provided us an English menu right away when he saw us struggling with the vending machine. The counter seating is kinda nice as well.

In comparison to ramen in Kansai this one is the worst ramen so far.
