Rich Shrimp Ramen from Hokkaido in Yaesu

Ebisoba Ichigen is a popular Hokkaido ramen shop known for its deeply flavored shrimp-based soup made with sweet shrimp.

At the Yaesu location, you can choose from shio, miso or shoyu, as well as three different soup styles: Sonomama, Hodo Hodo and Ajiwai.

Sonomama keeps the shrimp flavor more direct, while Ajiwai blends in more tonkotsu for a richer and heavier taste.

Located in the Yaesu Underground Shopping Mall near Tokyo Station, it is a convenient place to try a distinctive Hokkaido-style ramen without leaving the station area.

Shrimp Shio Ramen – Sonomama | そのまま えびしお

Shio Sonomama shrimp ramen with chashu, egg and green onions at Ebisoba Ichigen Yaesu

As the name suggests, the shrimp flavor is extremely strong.
If you want to enjoy the pure shrimp flavor as directly as possible, I would recommend choosing the “Sonomama” style.

The chashu is fairly standard.
The noodles have a firm texture with a noticeable kansui character.

The soup has a very strong impact and leaves a memorable impression.

Shrimp Miso Ramen – Ajiwai | あじわい えびみそ

Miso Ajiwai shrimp ramen with chashu, egg and shrimp flakes at Ebisoba Ichigen Yaesu

The “Ajiwai” style blends the shrimp broth with tonkotsu, but the result is surprisingly easy to eat and not overly heavy.
The shrimp flavor still comes through clearly.

The combination of pork bone broth and shrimp works very well together, creating a richer and more satisfying flavor.

If you are not completely focused on pure shrimp flavor, I would highly recommend trying the “Ajiwai” style.


As you would expect from a restaurant built around shrimp ramen, there is even shrimp oil on the table.
If you love shrimp, definitely add some and enjoy the full shrimp experience.

You may sometimes see a few people waiting outside, but the turnover is usually fairly quick, so the wait should not be too long.
