The Ichiran Experience! 🍜
Ichiran is probably on everyone’s must try list when traveling to Japan and we finally visited the Shinjuku branch to see what the hype was about. We went there mainly for the experience. Having individual dividers between people was a unique and private way to enjoy ramen. The staff were very friendly, and even though the service was designed for no eye contact, everything felt very welcoming. As for the food, the ramen was good, though for us, it felt more like a “one time experience” rather than a place we would love to go back to. Most of the people during our visit were fellow foreigners. There’s also a long wait list. It’s definitely a unique experience to try!
🍽 What we ordered:
• Ichiran Select 5 (1850円)
🚽 They have a toilet but we didn’t get a chance to check it.
