Kyushu Jangara Ramen has been a fixture of the Harajuku dining scene for decades, serving up bowls of deeply satisfying Kyushu-style tonkotsu ramen from its colourful shop on Meiji-dori. The pork-bone broth is the star — slow-simmered until velvety and full-bodied — and you can choose between the richer 'kotedori' style and a lighter, more delicate version depending on your preference.Toppings are generous and traditional: melt-in-the-mouth chashu pork, marinated soft-boiled eggs, wood ear mushrooms and pickled ginger all make appearances. The menu also includes smaller portions and side dishes, making it a solid option if you fancy something less filling. The atmosphere is bustling and informal, with counter seating that keeps things lively.
The shop is conveniently situated near the junction of Meiji-dori and Takeshita-dori, making it an easy pit-stop while exploring the neighbourhood. Queues can build at lunchtime, but they move steadily. English menus are available, and both cash and electronic payment are accepted.

Absolutely delicious ramen! They have additional toppings/seasonings on the table that you can use at your disposal from garlic and hot pepper to sesame seed and pickled ginger. I love the ambiance, it’s like a little get away from the busy streets of Harajuku.

One of better Ramen that I have for this trip. I ordered the mild soup and top up with chunk stew pork (highly recommended). On the table they have spicy mui-choy that goes really well with the noodles. The restaurant is small and always full.

Ok. So this place was amazing. Loved the ramen and the fun ambience. I also bought four of the souvenir packs to take back with me. Wait at lunchtime was about 30 minutes which is not too bad for Tokyo. The line downstairs is for the non-vegetarian ramen. Upstairs is vegan.

Super quick, easy and delicious ramen… we had the pork and the vegetarian options, you can customise it and the vego one doesn’t taste bland, gluggy or fake (rare!). Head up the stairs, order and pay, and you sit in your own little booth while it’s prepared. Great esperience!
