Even for Tokyo, Ota City has an especially high concentration of ramen shops. We don’t know the exact number, but our research makes us think it must be one of the top five spots for ramen in Tokyo.
The Kamata area is particularly famous, with 60 (according to our survey) ramen shops competing in this hotspot.
However, in recent years, areas to watch have grown to fill the entire city!
But with so many ramen shops, I’m sure you’re wondering how you’ll actually choose one. So, we’ve found some reliable ramen shops that we can recommend to you with confidence! They will be introduced in 4 times.
First let’s start with the hottest spot, the Kamata area!
Even by the standards of Ota City, there are a lot of people who come to Kamata. There are all sorts of tenants in the station building of JR Kamata Station—where the Tokyu Line also runs—and on the west side of the station, a commercial district unfolds with an arcade at its center. From the East Gate, the Keikyu Line runs alongside Route 15 to Keikyu Kamata Station, and there are all sorts of ramen shops along the way, preserving the traditional downtown atmosphere.
These Kamata area ramen shops are noted for their wide-ranging composition of genres and high quality. The types of people who come to the Kamata Station area include local residents of course, but there are also people who work in the coast area, and recently there are more foreign visitors to Japan due to the increasing number of hotels near Haneda Airport. We’ve heard that ramen genres naturally got more wide-ranging to meet the needs of these diverse customer demographics. And because the number of shops has rapidly increased over the past 10 years, their competitiveness has risen, and the quality of the flavor has gone up.We’d like to introduce shops we’ve carefully selected from the high-level area that is Kamata.
