A world of rich Chinese noodles woven with the aroma of charcoal and the umami of seafood

Located in the alley of Shibadaimon in Minato-ku, 'Charcoal-Grilled Rich Chinese Noodles Okurando'. At this unique ramen shop, you can enjoy a soup made from eight types of seafood such as mackerel, squid, and saury.

A bowl with the aroma of charcoal-grilled seafood

As you step into the store, you will first notice the fragrant aroma of charcoal-grilled seafood. At first glance, the soup looks like a thick, oily soba. However, when you actually taste it, you will be surprised by its mild and creamy flavor.

Unique combinations from the popular mackerel to the unusual chestnut

The soup, which is richly flavored with the taste of seafood such as mackerel, saury, sardine, and salmon, coats the thin Chinese noodles well. There are also menus with unusual ingredients like chestnut and shiitake, offering a variety of flavors to explore.

Toppings served separately in small dishes

The topping ingredients are served in separate small dishes to prevent the soup from cooling. This attention to detail maximizes the flavor of the soup. The crunchy accent of onions also creates an exquisite harmony.

Please try this deep flavor at least once. You will surely develop an attachment to its rich yet mellow and lingering deliciousness.

Fish based broth ramen seems to be all the rage these days in Japan. After all, fish such as bonito are part of the essential ingredients in a good dashi. At Okurindo, the signature ramen here is based on mackerel. The broth has that stronger smell associated with mackerel. Mackerel set is what everyone seems to go for and for good reason. It has satisfying richness to it like tonkotsu based broth. You need to order to poached egg separately and their unique twist is that truffle flavor. Mackerel set minus the rice and added one egg cost just 1100 yen. At the current exchange rate it’s unbeatable value

I recently dined at Okurindo, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. I ordered the Mackerel set, which was beautifully presented. The flavors were balanced, making my meal a delightful experience. However, the standout of the meal was the truffle-boiled egg that I ordered on the side. This simple dish was transformed into a culinary masterpiece with the infusion of truffle. The aroma was enticing, and the flavor of the truffle was distinct yet not overpowering. It was, without a doubt, one of the best eggs I have ever had. The subtle earthiness of the truffle paired perfectly with the creamy texture of the egg, creating a harmonious blend of flavors.

Delicious and authentic! The squid ramen with spiced egg was an absolute pleasure to eat. Never tried this kind of ramen before, and was a pleasure to try it here. Super reasonable price too at only 1250 Yen :)

Honestly the best ramen i have had in Japan to the point of having it 4 times. The sardine + spicy combo is unmatched by anything i have ever tried before. They also serve the beer in chilled stainless steel cups. The entire thing was fascinating and i will definitely eat there again whenever i am back in Tokyo.

This might be the best ramen I've ever eaten. Cold beer, very rich broth tasting of charred salmon, fresh noodles. Set to a soundtrack of bustle from the open kitchen and gentle forest sounds playing over the speakers. This is a special place!
