百名店 東京

Do you want to try the best of the best Japanese ramen? Of course, you do! What better way than with a ranking? Maybe a simple Top 3 is all you need. You can go with the classic Top 10. The 50 Best is a popular number these days. Then you have 100. 百 (pronounced hyaku in Japanese) was chosen for Tabelog’s ambitious 百名店 (hyakumeiten or 100 famous shops) project. Genres of casual grub across the country are given Top 100 lists. Ramen, one of Japan’s most beloved casual cuisines, has its own top 100 list for different regions of Japan.

Here are the top 100 ramen shops in Tokyo for 2024. For your convenience, they are listed in order of general ranking. Keep in mind that these lists cover six regions. Tokyo, Kanagawa, Osaka, East Japan, West Japan, and Hokkaido each have their own page. Happy hunting!

The Hyakumeiten lists can be found on Tabelog.com here.

When the list came out, I had been to 96 out of 100 of these shops. I’ve linked the shops that I have written about on Ramen Adventures. For the rest, you’ll have to figure out the details on your own, but that is half of the fun. Or wait, I’ll get around to it sooner or later.

For the 2024 Tokyo list, there are 17 new entries. Some are shops that have stood the tests of time, like Oshima (大島 味噌ラーメン) with their classic Sapporo-style miso ramen. Others, like rookie Natsuyanochukasoba (奈つやの中華そば), are absolutely killing it (you’ll be waiting around three hours to slurp their shoyu ramen). Kagehinata (手打ち 陰日向) was one of the best bowls I’ve had in recent years. Glancing at the list, the top 10 is a killer list if you are only in town for a short time and want a mini-challenge.

Love it or hate it, 2024 brings a massive change to the ramen Hyakumeiten as a whole. While 2023 added an Osaka list to the mix, bringing the total number of shops to 400, 2024 added Hokkaido and Kanagawa. That’s 600 ramen shops for the completionist ramen hunters out there. Apart from a handful of Japanese ramen otaku, I think Ramen Beast and myself are the only (外国人) ones going hard on this task. Maybe I’ll try and complete the Hokkaido list on a Ramen Rider road trip. Kanagawa is basically Tokyo, so that one might be a possibility.

Regardless if you only want to eat a handful or an oceanfull of ramen in 2025, eat and be happy!
