Ozora Ramen

While staying in Tokyo, I had a ramen urge (as one does) and found this wonderful place on Google. I had the basic--salt ramen, chicken oil, yuzu (pictured). It was delicious: flavorful and delicate, not too salty, filling but never heavy. I'm already planning to return and looking forward to trying the other presentations. The husband and wife owners, and the counterman, are also delightful and it was a pleasure chatting with them in Japanese and English. And the decor is lovely--retro flourishes like the hanging lamps; a vending machine (now a sliding door concealing a secret room for group dining); numerous autographs of various famous personages who've visited, all from the first-generation restaurant run buy the owner's grandmother, the same grandmother who taught him his culinary arts. Obviously there's lots of great ramen in Tokyo, but in my experience this is among the best. If you find yourself near Azabu Juban (or even if you're far), you'll be glad you tried it.

Amazing experience, the ramen is superlative, very light taste and clear broth. The place is elegant and quiet and all the team is extraordinary gentle and friendly. They also have an accurate selection of good wines

Incredible place! Really amazing food, I had the premium roasted black wagyu ramen, the meat melted in my mouth! Broth was flavoursum and light! There is a table charge ¥550 per person and a minimum spend of ¥3000 spend. Should that put you off. Complementary snacks were given on sit down also.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A True Taste of Japan – Authentic, Heartwarming, and Unforgettable This restaurant is a hidden gem that delivers not only incredible ramen but also a sense of tradition and warmth that’s rare to find. Family-run and now proudly operated by the third generation, you can truly taste the passion and dedication in every dish. The ramen was outstanding – rich, flavorful broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and toppings that were clearly prepared with care. You can tell this recipe has been refined over decades. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, just like being invited into a Japanese home. The staff was kind, attentive, and genuinely proud of their heritage. Whether you’re a local or a traveler, this place is a must-visit for anyone who wants a real, heartfelt Japanese dining experience. Can’t wait to return!

This ramen spot was awesome without trying too hard—it’s just a comfortable place to enjoy a truly delicious meal. Not to mention a classic highball. It isn’t exactly a hidden hole-in-the-wall, but it still feels like a great find. The flavors, atmosphere, and overall vibe made me wish I could have gone back more than once.

Top notch place! Atmosphere was relaxed and the perfect place to enjoy a phenomenal bowl of ramen. The food matched the ambiance and was simply fantastic. Topped off dinner with an award winning berry pie and a glass of wine. Couldn’t possibly ask for a better experience!

Truly incredible. The ramen broth was so flavorful, velvety, perfectly salted and still somehow light. If you love ramen but want something that feels more wholesome and don’t want to leave feeling sick, this was a nice reprieve from your typical ramen shop. Upscale, great wine list (wines from France), well designed and calming interior. Perfect for a date or solo meal. 10/10. Chef was also so friendly and hospitable.

What an incredible find. The ramen was so good I ended up having two bowls (the pork and the wagyu). The chef came out to thank me for eating so much and to say hello. You can tell how much he cares about the food and his guests. Absolutely delightful experience. The waitress was kind and thoughtful. Comfy chairs at the bar. Great design. Great music. The type of place that brings magic to Tokyo.
