Top 8 Best Ramen in Shibuya, Tokyo
Shibuya (渋谷) is a foodie's paradise in Tokyo (東京, Tōkyō), yet as a first-timer, it can be hard to pick a shop, much less discern which shops are tourist traps and which are hidden gems. Especially along Shibuya's Center Street, most ramen (ラーメン, Rāmen) shops that you'll chance upon are large chains serving up generic food that only earns a low 3 rating on Google Maps. Or you'll see long snaking queues outside the usual suspects like Ichiran and Ippudo. The real Japanese ramen connoisseurs though, will look elsewhere, there are plenty of great ramen shops just off the main streets, or on the less crowded sides of Shibuya that can match the best that Tokyo can offer.

Top 10 Best Unique Ramen in Tokyo
Ramen (ラーメン, Rāmen) is sometimes called the "soul food" of Japan, and there are just so many different kinds, with different broths or even dry ones. Outside of Japan, most ramen shops are relegated to the basic standard flavours of tonkotsu ramen (豚骨ラーメン, Tonkotsu Rāmen), shoyu ramen (醤油ラーメン, Shōyu Rāmen, Soy Sauce Ramen), and miso ramen (味噌ラーメン, Miso Rāmen), and yet there's still so much more to the world of ramen that will broaden your horizons in Tokyo (東京, Tōkyō). Chicken-based ramen, oyster-based ramen, clam-based ramen, duck-based ramen, grilled flying-fish ramen, extra spicy ramen, or an extra clear shio ramen (塩ラーメン, Shio Rāmen, Salt Ramen) with a grilled fish on top. These are all sorts of innovative ramen that are perfecting their skills, and pushing the boundaries of what ramen can be.
