Shibuya City, Tokyo, Japan｜Oreryu Shio Ramen

In my opinion, the most delicious novel I ate in Japan and in Tokyo in general. The service is fast and efficient. The dishes are special and delicious. One from a ramen chain. The price is reasonable and the portions are satisfying.

In the heart of Harajuku, tucked away in a quiet alley just a stone's throw from high-end fashion stores, there's this unassuming ramen joint that nearly brought me to tears! I can't recommend the char siu and fried chicken combo enough, especially when paired with the rich broth without chili – it's an explosion of flavors! I ordered a medium-sized bowl, which turned out to be quite massive. In any ordinary circumstance, I wouldn't have been able to finish it all. In fact, I came dangerously close to devouring the entire thing! If it weren't for my girlfriend‘s attempts to steal some, I might have cleared the entire bowl! Each bite of noodles and every sip of that soup was pure bliss 🤩.

This is a really great Ramen joint right behind the Intimissimi store. I got the Spicy Miso Ramen and it was perfect. A great blend of rich and creamy with perfect noodles and just enough spice to warm you up on a cool day. The Spicy Miso includes some lemon zest which adds a nice hint of citrus. The atmosphere is less traditional and more modern, with both counter seats and booths that can seat 4 people. The restaurant had a Beatles record playing which was enjoyable. I definitely plan on visiting again even though it is a 1-hour train commute for me!
