Menya Hyottoko Yurakucho

Menya Hyottoko Yurakucho - Review - Yurakucho - Tokyo - The Infatuation

"Yuzu ramen became super popular at Afuri, a chain that's expanded a bunch in the US. At Menya, you won't have to deal with as big of crowds, and the yuzu ramen here is better than Afuri anyways. Unlike some of the heavier options on this list, Menya Hyottoko’s yuzu ramen proves that a lighter broth can be just as flavorful, with a strong citrus flavor lingering long after your last slurp. A whole bowl even leaves us feeling as refreshed as if we stepped out from a quick sauna session. Located on the basement floor just above Yurakucho station with only seven seats, the tiny shop is hard to spot, but just look for the line. The store does have a specific order before grabbing a bowl: pay first, get your ticket, and then wait in line." - Kiera Wright-Ruiz
