"Tsuta, the first ramen restaurant in Tokyo to get Michelin recognition, offers shoyu ramen in a tiny restaurant with only nine seats. Expect a line but be ready for a delicious bowl when the moment comes." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Diners usually eat ramen quickly and move on, but a 15-minute meal belies the number of years top ramen chefs spend developing their recipes. Dig into the broth, which might gain flavor from pork bones, shellfish, duck, miso, Parma ham, or sardines. Or notice the kodawari, speciality ingredients like craft soy sauce, rare chicken breeds, and noodles from complex flour blends. If you can’t get all that from a single bowl, you’ll just have to go back again and again." - Eater Staff
"Tsuta was the first ramen shop in Japan to earn a coveted Michelin star, and their truffle-infused ramen is worthy of the accolade. Just enough truffle flavor builds on top of stock made with three kinds of chicken bones, dried fish, and konbu from Hokkaido. Ramen master Onishi-san painstakingly sources the rest of the ingredients from around Japan: Soy sauce comes from Wakayama, Hyogo, and Nagano, while the eggs come from Aomori. In late 2019 the shop moved to a convenient location in Yoyogi Uehara, just a few stops from Shinjuku or Shibuya. With their online reservation system allowing savvy diners to skip the queue, the days of waiting in line for hours are over, though you can still just show up and try your luck." - Brian MacDuckston
"Forthcoming Japanese ramen restaurant Sazan Ramen added a new chef to its team: chef Shun Shiroma, who worked at Michelin-starred ramen restaurant Tsuta Tokyo." - Nadia Chaudhury
"A streetside ramen noodle bar that was awarded a Michelin star last year, with dishes starting from Y1,100." - Michelin Guide Digital-Hong Kong Macau
