The Origins and Evolution of Tokyo Ramen

It is said that there are several thousand ramen stores in Tokyo today, offering a wide variety of ramen flavors.
The original ramen restaurant in Tokyo is said to be “Rairaiken” in Asakusa, established in 1910 (closed down in 1976), which is said to have created the basis of today’s ramen as well as being the first restaurant to offer wontons and shumai (various theories exist).
The opening of the Shin-Yokohama Ramen Museum in 1994 may have been a turning point in the current ramen boom, as it became known that “ramen with various regional characteristics (local ramen) exist throughout Japan,” triggering a local ramen boom.
Around 2002, a number of restaurants that were part of the “Daisho-ken” and “Ramen Jiro” chains began to open one after another, and ramen of the “Iekei” and “Jiro” genres became popular.
Since then, ramen has continued to evolve and develop, and Tokyo in particular has become a major ramen city, where local ramen from all over Japan, in addition to those that originated in Tokyo, are gathered.
In June 2009, “Tokyo Ramen Street” opened in the underground area of Ichiban-gai in the Yaesu Exit of Tokyo Station, attracting many tourists from overseas as well as Japanese.

“Which ramen has the best ramen?” I am often asked. Of all the food categories, the question about ramen is perhaps the most difficult.
This is because we feel that everyone has different tastes in food, and ramen, in particular, varies greatly from person to person. (In this sense, we do not rank or rate ramen based on scores or other criteria.)
For this reason, when asked “Which ramen is the best?” I try to answer, “This restaurant is the one that best suits my taste.
The most memorable ramen I have ever eaten was at Iida Shoten in Yugawara.
The ramen at this restaurant overturned my common sense about ramen and was so delicious that I felt it was beyond the boundaries of ramen.
In Tokyo, my favorite ramen restaurant is “Chukasoba Nishikawa” in Setagaya Ward.
It is a very tasty ramen restaurant with a broth of niboshi (dried sardines) without any bitterness.
