Only in Japan will you find a noodle bar that is purposefully tucked away without desperate marketing moves on social media accounts. Located in Fukuoka's cultural hotbed of Yakuin, Tsudoi's noodle offerings are not described as ramen, soba, or udon, but as "this" or "that". Everything about the menu to the decor and attitude is strange (in a good way). Don't bother asking about the ingredients because you'll get the GTFOH face. Tsudoi is a regular for local artists, skaters, designers, weirdos and for those that prefer a little something different.

The interior is covered with retro posters/flyers along with works of local artists such as KYNE and NONCHELEE (the duo runs a shop called ON AIR). This obscure noodle shop is where you will be able to connect with individuals who are progressing the creative cultures of the neighborhood. Order a bowl of "areh" noodles along with "scent of the evening" cocktails and take in the exciting time for Yakuin.

Soranoiro came through stacked with ramen awards a few years back. They have since branched out and now have a total of three shops. One of them is situated in Tokyo Station's Ramen Street aka paradise for ramen stans. Soranoiro is of course famous for their unique veggie/vegan ramen. The hunt for healthy options are always on the counter from all the street trash consumed throughout the years growing up in New York. The soup is made from carrots and does not taste like anything you'd imagine. Soranoiro's veggie ramen easily stands at one of the top ramen spots in Tokyo. You may get swayed by the famous tsukemen at Rokurinsha which is at the corner of Soranoiro. Take a chance with the healthy. If you really need to get down and dirty then opt for the more traditional pork broth.
