Ichiran Ueno
Travel time on foot is approximately 1 minute from JR Ueno station building (Atre Ueno).
The exterior has the signature signage of the restaurant’s name on it, and the wall has a dark theme color that’s quite amazing while staring at it.
Ichiran’s dining style is quite unique to any other ramen shops here. Loving the idea of eating in a cubicle that is just like having your own private space where you can slurp both noodles and soup without worrying that the person next to you might get annoyed. lol!

Mouko Tanmen Nakamoto
The estimated travel time on foot is 3 minutes from Okachimachi station. Upon getting off, head to the nearest South Exit and continue walking towards ramen alley.
Its exterior concept is just like the other branches but it does not have red walls as it is with glass walls this time with some pictures of the founder and its food menu.
The restaurant’s name is written in Kanji but I guess this place is hard to miss because of the attractive design on the outside plus you’ll get to see the chef showing spicy ramen noodles in their store’s banner.

Sharin
Sharin is about 2 minutes on foot when you are coming from the nearest Ueno Station – JR Yamanote line and other railway lines.
The dining area holds 16 available seats to accommodate the customers. Yes, it is a limited space yet comfortable to dine in. There were no wall decors and it really looks so plain and simple from the inside.
The restaurant’s authentic broth is a combination of seafood and chicken stock bring out the best and most unique taste and fragrance into the soup. The thicker soup and the perfect-slurpy noodles are so satisfying and add up to the ramen’s signature taste.
