Tokyo Aburagumi Sohonten Ginza

Not many places are worth the wait - but this one was worth every minute. I waited around 1 hour to be seated on a Monday night (they have ~6-8 seats total at the ramen bar). Noodles were delicious. Seasoning was spectacular. Egg was perfection. I got a spicy miso (seasoning at the bottom and have to mix it in). Highly recommend this spot.

got there around twenty minutes after opening at waited for 35-40 minutes maybe before getting seated? it’s a very small place, not a lot of seats, but it was spacious enough. each person had their own little set of toppings which i thought was really nice, i tried all of them with my noodles and that really kept the meal interesting because i could keep switching up the flavour. i thought it would be super oily and heavy, but it was actually perfect! i added roast pork, egg, and kewpie mayo. the roast pork was a little bit tough and dry in some parts and the egg was just a bit overcooked for my liking, but all the toppings really elevated the dish. honestly a really special meal, and it’s perfect if you just want to indulge yourself in some oily goodness !

Yummy non broth ramen. Exists in two main toppings and in three sizes. The size choice changes the amount of noodles but not the price. Expect very long wait

Amazing!! Everything mixes together so well, definitely add a dash of vinegar and chilli oil that are on the counter for extra yummy-ness.

My Favourite Part of Tokyo Abura Soba is one of the best noodle dishes in Japan. Aromatic oil mixed with fresh scallions, served with springy noodles, and topped with crunchy bamboo shoots and juicy chashu. Every bite of a well-mixed bowl gives you that perfect emulsion of aromatic oil and noodle water—creamy, rich, and absolutely addictive. The taste? An umami bomb. Salty, sweet, tangy—everything comes together in a bite that leaves you wanting more. The only downside? The place is small, so there might be a line. But honestly, the line is worth it. I make sure to have this dish every time I stop by Ginza.

Prices are different when order in different languages. Japanese 980yen - basic bowl without egg, minimal of everything English 1320yen - premium bowl with egg and more green onion and more meat than basic , some garnishes We came 2 nights in a row. First row non spicy, second row spicy. Sizes: small, large, extra large Same price for all sizes, non spicy slightly cheaper Food taste great . It’s abit too oily for me but my partner Loves it . I like it but smaller amount each time is good. I too missed it the sending day. Portion is huge. Just take away if there is a long queue takeaway takes only five minute. Seats sinside the restaurant is only for eight person at one time..

Excellent abura soba, both spicy and regular options are very tasty. Theres multilingual menu options and they give you a little explanatory card (or you can translate the posted one) on how to eat abura soba (basically just mix it up from the bottom). I usually go for spicy with an extra egg and a beer. Theres a little extra oil, scallions, and chili at the seat so you can adjust the flavor. It’s a tight place, maybe 10 seats, and can have a line. There’s a solid ramen place next door so I usually go to whichever has the shorter line if it’s very cold or raining.

Started off our first meal in Tokyo with this. Was a little skeptical at first seeing a much longer line at another ramen restaurant on its left, but no regrets - it was amazing! Got the spicy version; every component in this ramen dish was excellent with just the right amount of heat.
