Why Tokyo?
Tokyo, the city of neon lights
Tokyo, Japan’s busy capital, mixes the ultramodern and the traditional, from neon-lit skyscrapers to historic temples. The opulent Meiji Shinto Shrine is known for its towering gate and surrounding woods
The Imperial Palace sits amid large public gardens. The city's many museums offer exhibits ranging from classical art (in the Tokyo National Museum) to a reconstructed kabuki theater (in the Edo-Tokyo Museum).

My favourite ramen spots in Tokyo
Menya Mizukaze
Mizukaze is located in a discreet drinking alleyway just a few minutes from Tanashi station, but once you get in, you'll be surprised at its beautiful decor and incredible aroma of their ramen. They are known for a rich, chicken broth

Sansanto
One of the standout menu items at Sansanto is their signature tonkotsu ramen. Made with slow-cooked pork bones, the broth is rich and creamy, with a depth of flavor that is truly exceptional. Topped with tender slices of chashu pork, a perfectly cooked ajitama egg, and a medley of fresh vegetables, this bowl of ramen is a true delight for the senses.

Nakiryu
Nakiryu is one of only a couple of ramen shops in Tokyo that have received Michelin stars. One of their specialties at Nakiryu is the ‘dan dan’ noodles. Dan dan noodles originated in the Sichuan province of China, and we had a popular version in Taiwan as well. These noodles are characterized by their spiciness and the use of sesame seeds.
