Shoyu Ramen|醤油ラーメン

A bowl of shoyu ramen served at Hayashida Shimbashi in Tokyo.

As you would expect from such a popular ramen shop, this bowl feels like a more refined version of the classic shoyu ramen that brings back a sense of nostalgia.

The soup is light and easy to enjoy, yet it still has a rich depth of flavor.

You can tell that each topping has been carefully prepared, and the noodles have a pleasant firmness with a nice wheat aroma that matches the soup well.

The chashu includes both pork and chicken. Each is cooked at a low temperature, giving it a tender, moist texture while still keeping plenty of juiciness.

soft menma is also a nice touch and works very well with the overall balance of the bowl.

Shio Ramen Shops|塩ラーメン

A bowl of shio ramen served at Hayashida Shimbashi in Tokyo.

The shio ramen has a clean and delicate flavor, with a clear broth that is light yet full of umami.

It is a refined bowl that allows the character of the soup to stand out.

Chicken Paitan Ramen | 鶏白湯らーめん

A bowl of chicken paitan ramen served at Hayashida Shimbashi in Tokyo.

Chicken paitan is a rich ramen broth made by simmering chicken over high heat for a long time to extract as much flavor as possible.

As it cooks, the broth gradually turns milky white, becoming thicker and more concentrated with the richness and umami from the chicken.

At Hayashida, this flavorful chicken paitan broth pairs very well with the noodles and toppings, creating a rich yet well-balanced bowl.

Tantanmen | 担々麺

A bowl of tantanmen served at Hayashida Shimbashi in Tokyo.

Unlike the kind of tantanmen where the heat hits you first, this bowl is much more about richness and umami than spiciness.

Rather than thinking of it as “spicy ramen,” it feels more like another distinct ramen style alongside shoyu and shio, with a smooth, creamy and deeply flavorful soup.

There is only a gentle kick of spice, and the overall taste is mellow and very easy to enjoy.

In terms of richness and drinkability, I might even prefer the soup to the shoyu or shio ramen.


Although Hayashida is a popular ramen shop, it is often relatively easy to get a seat in the evening.

It is conveniently located near the station and stays open during the afternoon, making it a very easy place to visit at almost any time of day.

The menu also includes tsukemen, various toppings, and rice bowls, so there is plenty to choose from depending on your mood.
