Nagaoka Ginger Shoyu Ramen in Tokyo

Aoshima Shokudo is a famous ramen shop from Niigata, known for Nagaoka-style ginger shoyu ramen.

Its Tokyo location sits between Akihabara and Asakusabashi, and the combination of hot soy sauce broth and a strong ginger aroma has made it a popular destination for ramen fans.

It is also known for attracting long lines, even outside the usual lunch rush.

Aoshima Ramen | 青島ラーメン

A bowl of Nagaoka-style ginger shoyu ramen served at Aoshima Shokudo Akihabara in Tokyo.

It feels like a carefully made, classic bowl of ramen with a noticeable touch of ginger.
The soup is light and easy to drink, but it still has enough depth for the umami to spread across your palate.

If there were no line, this is the kind of ramen I could happily eat every day.

The chashu is also really good, so personally, I would recommend ordering the chashu ramen.


There is a ticket machine, but after buying your meal ticket, you show it to a staff member near the entrance, even if they are standing a little farther away.

I guess the trick is to hold it up clearly so they can see it easily, lol.
