Everyone knows about Japan's most famous foods like sushi and tempura, but let's not forget about ramen! Far removed from its instant noodle derivative, the hot salty broth of Japan's most popular ramen restaurants draw long lines across the country. But with so many restaurants it can be hard to decide where to go! Luckily, the Shin Yokohama Raumen Museum has gathered some of Japan's most popular ramen restaurants into one building!


Select Ramen Shops from Across the Country

With an interior décor that harks back to historical Japan, the Shin Yokohama Raumen Museum houses eight carefully selected restaurants, each with their own distinct style and flavor. Pamphlets detailing the specialties of each store are available in English, Korean and Chinese, helping you to savor the flavors and have fun trying to find your perfect bowl of ramen!

As would be expected of such a popular establishment, lunchtime can be quite crowded and lively. For those who would prefer not to wait in line, try arriving after 2:00 p.m. for a late lunch. Enjoy the sights of Tokyo or Kamakura in the morning, regain your strength with a tasty ramen noodle lunch, and then experience Yokohama's world-class shopping and beautiful cityscape by night!
