Had an amazing meal at Okurindo, just a 15-minute walk from Tokyo Tower! I ordered the Chestnut Ramen while my friend had the Pacific Saury Ramen, and both were incredible. Ordering through a ticket vending machine added that fun, authentic Tokyo touch right from the start.

Only my recommendation is you should research about their menu first before going to the restaurant because you will want to eat everything on the menu 🤣
They have many types of soup base so you can select based on the ingredients that you love. I ordered mackerel and my friend ordered salmon. Both are mind blowing, rich and flavorful✨ PS. They also have spicy option and pls be careful it’s quite spicy.
