- Ramen Nagi (ラーメン凪) in Shinjuku's Golden Gai (新宿ゴールデン街) is one of the most iconic ramen shops, probably in all of Japan.
Situated between hundreds of small bars, Ramen Nagi is the only spot serving ramen directly in the Golden Gai area, with a second shop nearby.
Ramen Nagi is famous for serving a gritty bowl of niboshi ramen, that is not for the uninitiated. It is a good way to find out if you’re a niboshi person or not, since this bowl is not holding back on the bitterness and the grittiness of the niboshi. But once you’re past that, you’re looking at a really incredible bowl of ramen.
The Golden Gai shop of Nagi is in the second most southern street of Golden Gai, in the second floor. Open 24/7, you can get your ramen fix literally at any time of the day, all year round. The shop is the same size as most of the bars in Golden Gai, which means SMALL, but still enough to fit around 8 guests inside and serve ramen.
The ramen is an incredibly rich niboshi ramen combined with very substantial, thick and curled noodles. The perfect noodles to stand up to this kind of fragrant and aromatic soup. The bowl is topped with a quite sweetly seasoned pork belly cubes and more mildly seasoned lean cut slices. Both work well with the soup. It’s also hard to ignore the absolutely massive sheet of nori, which is a great way to soak up the leftover soup at the end. A personal highlight are the flat noodles that are usually placed on top, I wish I could order a full bowl only with those.

What was the most interesting or iconic ramen restaurant you have ever been in?
Tomita with Cody
i went to a naruto-themed restaurant in miami, it’s signature bowl is this smoky tonkotsu and i get it with bbq char siu pork
@@kvom01 you’ve been to Tomita with Cody?
@@itspugsley8203 what’s the name of that restaurant? I think Naruto is quite the popular theme for ramen restaurants outside of Japan
@@NamaJapan naruto 88 bistro but it’s the only one i’ve seen here
煮干しの出汁が匂ってきそう、美味そう
this was so good
So interesting! Nothing like the Ramen Nagi chain shops in the states at all
If you check Google, Nagi has a second brand called “Butao”, which seems to be similar to what Nagi does overseas. Unfortunately niboshi just isn’t that popular outside of Japan…yet
@@NamaJapan Ikuta-sensei actually comes to the Philippines every January just to serve Niboshi Ramen for a limited time.
What time of day/week did you go? I had to wait 2 hours to get in when I went haha
Good question. I think it was a bit after regular dinner time later in the evening. But I also heard that the lines recently got pretty intense, so it might just coincidence with more international tourists being back in Tokyo.
I ate there last summer at 5 am to avoid the crowds but there is still a line and lot’s of drunk young people some wanting to cause trouble 😅
Last summer during Covid? Are you living here?
@@NamaJapan I am here in the US but was there June 2023 for vacation, and saw your vlog to try this fantastic Niboshi ramen!
I don't drink so I've never been interested to come to Golden Gai. This might be a reason next trip.
Even if you don’t drink, it has a very interesting vibe and atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in Shinjuku anyway
