With so many ramen variations in Japan, the«best one» includes more than one. Tanmen which for sake of the argument can be thrown into that category is definitely in that list. Its consistency, flavor, aroma, hours of operation and price make this a must when visiting Japan. Do you like spicy food? Think you can handle it? Go for the level 10 dish. Holy hell… this thing IS spicy!!! But so delicious at the same time. A very masochist moment between you and that soup. Ordering is very japanese as well. Order your soup on a machine, give your ticket, and then they’ll sit you down. Super effective and helps managing the crowds. Get ready to be surrounded by teas, sweat and pain from other people eating the very spicy dishes. Itadakimasu!
