All Reviews of Yakiago Shio Ramen Takahashi, Shinjuku Main Store

This popular spot definitely lives up to the hype! I came in just to give it a try and ended up becoming a huge fan. The grilled flying fish broth was incredibly aromatic, and the noodles soaked up all that flavor. Every bite was so satisfying. I kept thinking about giving up while waiting in line, but after eating, all I could say was, “I’m so glad I stayed!”

The Yakiago salt ramen has a rich broth that blends the umami of flying fish with pork bone soup. The flavor is definitely intense. Here, after finishing your ramen, you can get a bowl of white rice and pour the leftover soup over it to make ochazuke. Maybe it's just a cultural difference, but honestly, I find the combination of ramen and rice a bit strange.

If you don't like traditional Japanese ramen that's too salty or oily, the Yakiago Shio Ramen is the best choice. The broth has a nice seafood sweetness to it.

The most popular ramen shop in Kabukicho! Had to take a photo for the 'gram!

The flavor is really unique—I fell in love with it after just one try.

There aren't many seats inside, so you might have to wait during busy times. But people eat pretty quickly. The signature flying fish ramen is delicious—highly recommended! 👍

The seafood broth adds a sweet, fresh flavor, and there's a hint of char that makes it really unique.

The miso ramen was way too salty!

Every time I'm in Shinjuku, I have to eat here. The taste is unforgettable!

If you hang out in Kabukicho, everyone knows TAKAHASHI!

The flavor is amazing—definitely the best in Shinjuku ☝️
