If you want to eat here then go during dinner time and arrive about 30 minutes early. You're pretty much guaranteed to be in the first round of orders if you do that. I've been to Nakiryu 3 times. Changed my life and blew every other ramen I've eaten out of the water when I lived in Japan for 4 years. They're known for their Tantanmen but frankly the Shoyu ramen is better in my opinion. However, I went again after COVID and their remodel and when I went it was...different. It looks the same but the quality just wasn't what it used to be. Still a great bowl, but I ended up finding a better place I went to more often in Akasaka. Still haven't tried Ginza Hachigou or Tsuta though. I will when I go there again on vacation though.
This is not only the best ramen I have ever eaten. It is the best thing EVER I have eaten. My jaw muscles were shaking because of how incredibly delicious the ramen was. I was in heaven
I'm just fascinated that a Ramen in this restaurant is cheaper than Ramen in the restaurant here in my city of Brno, Czech Republic which I would assume is far behind the quality of this restaurant in Tokyo.
@@hracekkthe price of Michelin star ramen in Tokyo is cheaper than the regular ramen here in Canada. After Covid the average price for ramen is about $16-$19 Canadian. It’s stupid expensive. A lot of people have stopped going because of the inflation and restaurant owners increased the price out of proportion.
I've been here but it took me two attempts. First time in 2017 we came for lunch and they were renovating so we walked less than a mile to the other Michelin-Starred Ramen House, Tsuta. Came back to Japan in 2019 and we came about 45 mins before opening, and we were the first ones inside! It was of course amazing. I don't remember that fancy ordering machine so that must have been added after our visit.
You have no idea how much your videos help me Aden, I'm a very anxious person and watching videos like yours helps me relax and makes me feel at peace for the duration of the videos. I appreciate you. 😌
I've tried multiple things in my life to help me calm my anxietiy and watching UA-cam was the only thing that helped with that but I've cut my watch times by just watching videos 2 or 3 times a week. You know, like you said discipline. 👍@@muzk8887
"I am so happy to have discovered your channel, it's amazing and thank you so much for all these wonderful recipes, I have benefited greatly from them.🌺👍🥰
I been there. And I couldn't tell how amazing it was. Like it was great ramen, but if no one would have told me they have Michelin, I wouldn't have known. So I assume it was so good, I didn't have enough culinary knowledge to comprehend how amazing it was.
it probably because chef's in asia don't open a restaurant only for getting a michellin star like in Europe. If they got noticed by michelin then thanks, but they are more intuitive about the common people's taste and in Asia I tell you, there's little to no tolerance if your food tastes bad. They won't file a complaint or review, they just won't come to you. "Customers talk by their feet" as the saying goes
In Japan, you can eat Michelin-grade food at this price, but how much does it cost to eat at a Michelin-starred restaurant in the world? I think the cost of a meal in Japan today is very inexpensive by global standards.
In Hong Kong you can have a Michelin starred meal for $1.50. It's not like Michelin is the best thing however, lots of corruption going on in that organization...
I am Indian and I've always wanted to taste ramen at least once in my life. I've only watched videos of it so far and am waiting for the opportunity to try it myself.
This was the first ramen place i visited in my first trip to japan. Got there at 11am and the wait was at least an hour long. Given the expectations and the wait, i was disappointed.
Great ramen! will visit for sure. It is not rated Michelin one start though. It is awarded Michelin Bib Gourmand, which means outstanding with affordable price, but not good enough to be one star.
Can see why a younger crowd as well as average westerners would love this and is given a michelin star. It strikes a good balance between preparing food cleanly (being an open kitchen in front of customers) and overall very presentable on the dining table. Though looking at how (and how long) they 'decorate' the toppings, mostly pre-cooked and refrigerated, and leaving the soup and noodles in the bowl idled for that long, real gourmets or ramen lovers may find it overhyped.
Dan dan noodles the taste is really good. Noddle texture is my liking. Presentation is decent. It was 2.5 hours I spent for a seat last November. I won‘t do it again.
No, this an absolutely wrong statement. People in Japan will line up for the most bang average stuff sometimes. I swear Japanese people LOVE queueing. They see a line and just go line up too because the place MUST be good if people line up for it right? Wrong. If this were true, it would mean Ichiran is great. Which it isn't.
@@B-Man-69 I mean that's a given. You should always do your own research. In my experience, it's not worth lining up for restaurants in Japan because I've done it before and while the food at those places was good, I never thought the difference between that place and a random one without a queue justified the waiting time.
the reason why they line up is because of channels like this and silly star ratings. you need to think more about things before you come to conclusions. there is some goodness to this place but you will come to realize the truth as you get older or time passes.
@@erickv1427 they are still charging $8 though? That's not typical supply/demand economics. If they can keep the quality high at $8, they should be able to expand.. if not, the price should rise to decrease demand.
Maybe they are just new and have ideas for the future. Doesn’t hurt to raise your profile with a video from a good utuber. No? Reminds me of a famous chain called W……a. Being smaller and not a chain their food must be tastier. Maybe they got a star for all sorts of reasons apart from taste and presentation, smooth service, value for money, speed, tech etc.
It's been a while since I've went there, but at least I now know they didn't change the queuing procedure. Also, weirdly it seems like it's more westernized now, based on my rather poor memories a few years back, it felt like a traditional ramen shop, but way just more popular. I'll definitely hit this place up when I'm back there next month.
Do they charge such low prices in order to share their food with as many people as possible without looking at the financial gain or would this have been a fair price for their level of food in Tokyo?
I went to Japan a couple years ago back when the exchange rate was more like $1=100 yen and these prices would be pretty normal for a fast-casual-ish type of place. Very interesting that they’re keeping prices like this with a Michelin star. Out of curiosity, I started looking on Google for current menus of places I’ve been to and it’s like inflation barely affected them over there, at least going from memory of what I think I paid like 5 years ago. Plus 1 USD is currently roughly 140 yen which makes the food look even more crazy cheap. I don’t know how they do it.
Both maybe. That price is like still within average ramen price in japan, usually like 800-1500 yen on good ramen restaurant, even without michelin. But after they got their michelin, they prob wanna keep the price same for all their current customers, while remain to be competitive in price. Other michelin star ramen resturants also keep their price around 1000+ yen.
I don't get it, you can double the price and pay your workers better and it's still a bargain for the customer and there will still be a line. Glutton for punishment across the board.
Michelin starred is the biggest bs in the culinary world, like I could find really good ramen in a random street anywhere in Japan with decent prices. Don't get me wrong, ramen in the video is good but you just can't beat ramen shop with eldery owner who wear the old apron.
Michelin isn't only about the food though. It's service, design, attention to detail etc. Not every hole in the wall that makes delicious food is worthy of a star.
WHY. NO. GLOVES. Seriously, why do so many “professional” chefs refuse to wear gloves when serving strangers food? I don’t want your grimy ass hands touching the thing I’m about to eat

Interesting review. Would you mind sharing the name of that other ramen placenin Akasaka?
@@javierguerrero3196 yes
Thanks for sharing, very informative.
great tip, i tried 3 times during lunch and abandoned everytime.
would love to know the asakasa spot. is it agodashimbased by any chance?
Is IPPUDO good?
The most quiet kitchen I’ve ever “heard” - sounds delicious!
Those two work in perfect synchronicity.
They got their star removed in the latest edition of the Michelin Guide. I don't think there's any Michelin starred ramen places anymore.
i've been here during winter, 0 degrees and queue for like an hour. it's very worth the wait, amazing tantanmen.
I can deal with -20 degrees, 35C + humidity is a different story.
All the foods are very clean, beautiful and decoration.

@@louisn9084 it’s hilarious. They simply care about the money
How early do I need to be in line? thx
@@Qewlie I was there 1.15 hours in advance. I think 1 hour in advance is also fine. When the shop opened we immediately got seated.

Thank you, Aden. The Standard in cooking in Japan is mountain high above anything in this world. I love your videos. Sorry for my English.
Italians is getting triggered lol
I highly doubt Italians put in more time, effort and quality into their food than the Japanese lol@@kenfern2259
The reason why is cheap is because the standard of food in Japanese is insanely high regardless if it has a Michelin star or not.
So satisfying to watch ❤
You have no idea how much your videos help me Aden, I'm a very anxious person and watching videos like yours helps me relax and makes me feel at peace for the duration of the videos. I appreciate you. 😌
how about having discipline instead of watching you tube videos

Thank you for your excellent videos!
Incredible value
8 bucks?! What a steal
It looks delicious.
Wow I could taste that through the screen!
fantastic
I still dream of this ramen from 6 years ago. Went back twice in a 3 day span in Tokyo :)) 2 hours waiting 20 mins bliss
Magnifique ✌😙🥢!
I went in a similar place in Tokio, I remember the most spicy dressing was called Danger
We ate here almost exactly a year ago. We waited for 45 minutes and it was well worth it. I pay twice that for ramen here that isn't half as good.
My favourite ramen ever
乾淨俐落的廚房，很專業。
In Japan, you can eat Michelin-grade food at this price, but how much does it cost to eat at a Michelin-starred restaurant in the world? I think the cost of a meal in Japan today is very inexpensive by global standards.
It also doesn't hurt that the dollar buys 142 yen today!
the portions are a lot smaller though and the proteins like meat are skimped. lots of carbs like noodles and rice for fillers.
In Hong Kong you can have a Michelin starred meal for $1.50.
It's not like Michelin is the best thing however, lots of corruption going on in that organization...
@@noeminoemi1350 I guess I would have to order 2 bowls then when I visit one day ..
Michelin give stars out to Japanese restaurants like confetti. Pretty daft overall and to be taken with a pinch of salt

Front row! Beast mode!
Looks very delicious (almost tempted) but I don't have the patience to queue for an hour......

In the US a bowl of ramen is 20 dollars but only 10% as good as those found in Japan.
Dan dan noodles the taste is really good. Noddle texture is my liking. Presentation is decent. It was 2.5 hours I spent for a seat last November. I won‘t do it again.

I am so hungry after watching this that I am about to head to the airport and jump on a flight to NRT.
Imagine this place had to do high volume lol….
cuisine was masterpiece
cameraman though😂 6:37
With that sort of demand, I'm suprised they entertained this type of video. They obviously do not need a longer line, they need more/larger venues.
With a michelin star, more capacity is not always a good thing

Maybe thet keep quantity low so quality high, the line maybe just for a period of day, not all day
Must be American. Not everything is about more and bigger
You can tell the raman is going to be slapass because of the way the broth looks
1200 yen is $8?
$3.50 to $8.80 USD for a Michelin star quality grub, dayum. Thats dirt cheap for a restaurant.
how is this possible with these prices?
That broth, wow.
The chef's work so fluidly around each other. Shame the egg was overcooked.
I noticed that about the egg as well.
i think a Michelin star chef knows how to cook an egg better than you lol. runny eggs are overrated asf
作品として食べに行くならいいんだろうけど、美味いラーメン屋は山ほどあるよ！ミシュランが全てでは決してない！全国各地のラーメン屋に行ってみな！飛ぶぞ！
Suggestion?
The chef didn’t shake the excess water from ramen noodles all over the kitchen floor. Surely this isn’t authentic! 😂
Aden, очень хочу попробовать Рамэн, но увы, он из утиных яиц. Это правда?
Paradise…!
it looks great but what makes this ramen michelin worthy compared to all the other amazing ones ive seen? it doesnt seem any better honestly
Holy crap. That ajitama is cured all the way through. Thats gotta be at least a 3 day cure.
Tutto adorabile è invogliante ❤❤!!
A parte le mascherine
japaness the only people who would get a michelin star for some soup and noodles in a bowl.
Burning weather and hot noodles. I wait until cicadas stop crying.
