In Ueno Okachimachi, there are two popular ramen shops with long lines: Kamo to Negi and Hakata Ramen Ichiban from Kyushu. Hakata Ramen Ichiban is famous for its rich and creamy Hakata tonkotsu broth. The highlight is the mountain of bean sprouts piled high, topped with special sauce and thin slices of chashu pork. It almost looks like a salad! Usually, people choose Hakata Ramen Ichiban when they don't want to wait in the long line at Kamo to Negi, known for its delicious soy sauce broth. At Ichiban, you can choose the amount of bean sprouts. Even the regular portion is so large that it needs a separate plate, and the large portion is truly a sight to behold! The noodles are medium-thin and pair well with the tonkotsu broth. The chashu pork is thinly sliced. Overall, it's a solid choice, especially for those looking to enjoy a generous serving of bean sprouts.

This bowl of famous duck ramen was actually on my bucket list to visit last year! When I arrived at 3:30 in the afternoon, there was almost no queue. The waiter arranged the seats and I entered immediately. When I came out after eating, I found that there were more than ten people queuing at the door. It was just the perfect time. ✨ duck らーめん (current price ¥930) The main feature is whole-grain flour noodles, which are smooth and have a wheaty aroma. The chewy texture is just right and I personally love it! The soup is a salty and layered soy sauce base. It's a bit salty when you drink it alone but it's just right when you eat it with noodles. The duck meat is stewed soft and tender but the taste is light, which I think is a bit ordinary. 💡 Choose two out of three is the soul option! You can choose any two from large white onions, white-haired onions, or chrysanthemum petals. It is so friendly to people with decision-making difficulties! I chose big white onion + white hair onion that time. The big white onion was sweet and juicy, with a little roasted aroma, which was the highlight of this bowl. Next time I go, I will definitely order a portion of onion alone (the single order was ¥150 at the time). It is a must-order for onion lovers💚 — 📍 Store information (main store) 6-4-15 Ueno, Taito-ku, Tokyo 🚃 JR # Okachimachi Station 🕒 We are now open 24 hours a day, so it is more convenient to arrange off-peak hours if you want to avoid the crowds! After all, if you have to queue up, this one won’t be your first choice. 📈 The price has been adjusted at present (the actual price is subject to the on-site price), but it is still a bowl with good CP value! 📍 Latest branch information There are now two new branches in Tokyo and a sister store in Osaka, so travelers from Kansai can also enjoy it! — #TokyoRamenRecommended #DuckRamen #UenoFood #TokyoFreeTravel #TokyoQueueFood #OnionLoversMustEat #OkachimachiFood #JapaneseRamen #RamenRecommended #tokyoramen #tokyofoodie #japanfoodie #RamenLover is a good friend of mine #ramenlover — If you were asked to choose two out of three onions, how would you combine them? Onion lovers, come and vote 💬 #AprilGoodDestinations2025

#2月好地方2025 The shop is located in Okachimachi, Tokyo. It specializes in tsukemen. You can choose two dipping sauces at a time, and the noodles can be selected cold or warm. Everyone also recommends the store's "Kuroge Wagyu" Sukiyaki. There are four kinds of dipping sauces in the store: pork bone and seafood, shrimp and dried shrimp, garlic soy sauce, and dandan noodles. I ordered 2 dipping sauces, pork bone and dandan noodles, and chose cold noodles. The sauce has a strong flavor, and I personally think the pork bone flavor is better. The noodles are more chewy after being rinsed with cold water, and the taste is great! 📍Aidaya Address: 101B Okachimachi Glen High 6-1-6 Ueno, Taito-ku, Tokyo Transportation: 2 minutes walk from JR Okachimachi Station Opening hours: 10:30-15:00, 17:30-20:45

#JapanFlightEvent #OkachiMachiDonkatsu #OkachiMachiRestaurant It would be even better if you go with kids. It's on the second floor, but there aren't many seats. The line will go away if you wait. It's right near Okachimachi Station. There's a Don Quijote nearby and a Takeya Mart. https://maps.app.goo.gl/4iYV486XwCthZkMU7

#JapanFlightEvent #TokyoWithAir #ShinOkachiMachiDelicious #OkachiMachiCostEffectiveRestaurant After taking the Skyliner from Narita Airport to Ueno Station and walking to check in at Ichi Hotel Ueno ShinOkachiMachi near ShinOkachiMachi Station, I skipped lunch and was so hungry. Instead of going somewhere else, I decided to go to a place where there were a lot of people nearby and the menu was nice. There was no English menu (I don't speak Japanese), but I looked at the pictures and used Google Lens to order the menu. It was a delicious restaurant with good value for money. It was very small, so there were only about 8 seats, but... I successfully ate my first meal, walked to Asakusa, saw Sensoji Temple, and went to Akihabara to finish my first day. First meal near my accommodation: Butadon TONTON 元祖豚丼屋TONTON 御徒町店

#FuriTabiWinter You can get to [Hanamizuki] from Ueno Okachimachi and Suehirocho 🥢 This soba restaurant is a little different from the bustling downtown areas such as Ameyoko, so you can relax and enjoy your meal. Although the main dish is soba, they also have a variety of izakaya menu items, so many customers come to drink. The drinks are a lineup unique to soba restaurants, and go well with shochu and sake 🍶 The tempura platter of milt, oysters, and shishamo, as well as the sashimi, were very delicious 🐟🦪 They also have hot pot dishes, which all look delicious! The minced meat cutlet was also freshly fried and juicy, so I recommend it ✨ I had the main dish of soba noodles as a finale, and it had a chewy texture and the noodle soup went down smoothly, leaving me wanting more! This is a restaurant where you can enjoy Japanese food that is also recommended for foreign tourists 😉 📍Address: 3-5-10 Ueno, Taito-ku, Tokyo #wintertrip #gourmettrip

#0yentravelautumn [Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen Ichikiwa] in Okachimachi 🍜 I was curious to join the queue because there was a line outside. Depending on the time, you can get in easily! After buying a meal ticket, go to your seat. The bowl arrived pretty quickly!! The noodles were thin and firm, and the rich, flavorful soup reminded me of Ichiran, and was easy to eat without being heavy⭐️ You'll never get bored of eating it, so you'll want to try it once! 📍Address: 6-4-18 Ueno, Taito-ku, Tokyo #TokyoGourmet

#0yentravelautumn We went to a new restaurant about a 3-minute walk from Okachimachi Station♫ The restaurant has just opened, so it's very clean! There are seats on the first and second floors, and we were guided to a table seat on the second floor. There is a partition so it feels like a semi-private room. The appetizer is chawanmushi with chicken broth😉 This is so delicious! The quality of the appetizer makes you excited♪ The yakitori and smoked chicken sashimi are all delicious, and go well with alcohol🍻 The staff were very polite, and we enjoyed their performance! To finish off the meal, we had the three-color TKG, which is a must-order🥚 When I asked the staff why the colors were different, they said that the color changes depending on what the chickens eat, but the taste is the same. It uses three luxurious eggs, and it's very delicious 🙌🏻 I recommend it ♡ They also have private rooms that can be used by large groups, so I think it's a convenient restaurant for year-end parties and other events ✨ 📍Location: 1F, 3-40-11 Yushima, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo #TokyoGourmet

#100 Ways to Travel Tonkazu Yamae, It is a very popular and affordable pork chop restaurant. It is loved for being freshly fried, affordable, and meaty. ⋯⋯⋯⋯ Before and after Ameyoko, There are two stores in total (Ueno store and Okachimachi store) The walk from the second store is only 5 minutes. Let’s eat in the restaurant with fewer people. ⋯⋯⋯⋯ There are only about 20 seats in the store. Once the seats are full, you have to wait in line. It’s best to arrive half an hour early. There are 6 types of set meals in the restaurant. Payment is by cash and a Chinese menu is available on site. ⋯⋯⋯⋯ All the meals in the store are cooked to order. After you order your meal, you will need to wait for about 15 minutes. While you are waiting for your meal, the waiter will first serve you tea and pickled radish. Once the pork chops are fried, rice and miso soup will be served together. The freshly fried pork cutlet is about 1.5 times the size of the normal one. Not only is the portion larger, but it also tastes quite crispy. The thick cuts of meat are just the right amount of soft and hard. There are small clams in the miso soup, which is really thoughtful. This large portion of tonkatsu set meal is only ¥850. Really~ Highly recommended 👍👍👍.

#August Good Places 2024 night after 10 pm Ueno, unexpectedly closed very early, most of the stalls are izakaya and small restaurants, this duck scallion ramen after 10 pm are many people queue very exaggerated.

🌟 Okachimachi, a part of Tokyo's Ueno, is a condensed place of bustling street scenes and everyday life. Every time I pass by, there is a different landscape. 👍 Because my home is nearby, it only takes a short ten-minute walk to get here. From the noisy crowd and speeding cars at Ueno Station to the densely packed shops with human fireworks in Okachimachi, the scenery along the way changes constantly, but what remains unchanged is the love of the people here. ❤ The Okachimachi area includes the Ameyoko Shopping Street and several crisscrossing side streets. From the first ray of sunlight in the early morning shining here, a day of human fireworks begins. As night falls, people who can no longer bear the hunger and craving for alcohol start to gather here. 🍽 Most shops gradually close for rest amidst the endless stream of diners, leaving only a few waiting for the last customers to leave. The crowd in the shopping street also disperses, leaving behind the hardworking voices between shops. Occasionally, there will be drunken truths, curses, and laughter. With the extinguishing of the last light, it is already the early hours of the next day, and Okachimachi enters a brief rest to welcome the dawn of a new day. 🍲 At any time, Okachimachi represents the human fireworks, the lively life of the common people of Ueno Shitamachi. If you have the chance to visit Tokyo, be sure to walk around Okachimachi and feel this market life that makes even winter days hot.

It's a 5-7 minute walk from Okachimachi station, and it feels great at night. This shop specializes in various egg dishes. I've passed by the door several times before and there were always many people queuing outside. The shop opens at 10am and when we arrived at 10:30 this time it was already full. We had to wait for a while before we got a seat and the wait to order took about 10 minutes. You can take out, but if you want to eat in, you must confirm a seat first. I ordered SODA and pudding. The pudding was harder and delicious when served with fresh cream. This store seems to be frequented by many foreign tourists. When we left at around 11:30, we could no longer wait inside the store as all the other customers were arranged to line up at the door.

Night pafe is very popular in Japan now This is a specialty store that specializes in serving Pafei at night. I found this restaurant online and have been wanting to try it for a long time. The location is about 15 minutes' walk from Shin-Okachimachi Station. The location is not convenient, but the appearance of Pafei is very beautiful and suitable for taking pictures. I ordered the matcha flavor, the matcha taste was very light, not strong, but since it is not a matcha specialty store, this level is acceptable. The ice cream on top no longer has much of the matcha flavor, and there is lemongrass jelly in the middle. Honestly, the lemongrass jelly doesn’t match the overall taste because the matcha flavor itself is very light. Although the lemongrass jelly is not too sweet, its unique fragrance is too strong, which steals the show from the matcha flavor. I finished the whole portion without the satisfaction of having enjoyed a delicious dessert.
