WHY IT'S A MESHI MAP PICK
Locals keep coming back. That is the real proof.
地元の人が、通い続ける。それが何よりの証明。
Founded in Sugamo in 2012, Tsuta made history as the world's first ramen restaurant to earn a Michelin star, holding the distinction from 2016 to 2019.
2012年に巣鴨で創業し、2016〜2019年にかけて世界初のミシュラン一つ星ラーメンとして世界中に名を轟かせた伝説の一杯。
Its signature soup — a breathtaking combination of truffle oil and abalone broth paired with hand-rolled noodles — delivers an experience that feels astonishing at 3,000 to 4,000 yen per bowl given the ingredients involved.
トリュフオイルと鮑の出汁を掛け合わせた唯一無二のスープに手打ち麺を合わせ、高級食材を使いながらも1杯3,000〜4,000円という驚きの価格設定が「破格」と評される。
Now based in Yoyogi-Uehara since 2019, it remains on Tabelog's Ramen TOKYO Top 100 for 2025 and is as sought-after as ever.

What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

The legendary restaurant that became the world's first ramen shop to receive a Michelin star (2016). Even after the owner-chef passed away in 2022, the staff carries on his vision at Yoyogi Uehara. The soy sauce ramen using truffle oil and abalone broth is in a class of its own. Around 3,000-4,000 yen per person, but widely considered exceptional value for what's offered.

Reviews say 'this changes what ramen can be,' 'worth the trip just for this,' and 'a bowl at world-class level.'
