Minato City, Tokyo, Japan｜Afuri Roppongi Hills

What a gem. First heard of this place from Monocle. Their signature Yuzu Shio Ramen is so strong and fresh, something I've never found in other yuzu ramens back home. Paired with the thin noodles, this makes the perfect meal after a long day. I came around 7pm on a Friday and we got seated in less than 5mins.

I came here around 5:30, ordered the yuzu ramen from the vending machine outside and was seated immediately. The vending machine does not accept cash which is a bit disappointing. The yuzu ramen was extremely refreshing and delicious and once I took my first sip of the broth, it was very hard to stop amd before I had even eaten any noodles, I had already drank half of the broth. The chasu had a nice roasted flavor to it and the egg was tasty, although I would have preferred a whole egg instead of just half of an egg. I think the yuzu chicken broth may be the best of the 10 or so ramen shops Ive tried so far and its definitely in the top 2 or 3. I would come back if I was in the area again.

Super great place for ramen if you’re in the area and want something great to eat! Order from the outside kiosk. Bring your ticket in and get your food right away! The menu is in English and Japanese for your convenience. They even have recommendations listed for what type of noodle for your ramen or how much oil should be added for each dish if you’re not a ramen expert yourself! Ramen was tasty, filling and of course satisfying even on a hot summers evening. Can’t wait to eat there again when we are in the Roppongi area in the future!
