Afuri Ramen Tokyo – Yuzu Ramen Is Good But Grilled Pork Is Even Better

Afuri Ramen

It will probably be a long wait if you want to dine at Afuri, a popular ramen restaurant in Tokyo.

The small unit sits just under 20 diners at one time, but the number of hungry diners in the queue is easily three times more than that. Everyone comes here for the famous yuzu ramen, and we too joined the queue on a cold night – when the temperature was almost single digit and the winds were strong.

But that did not stop us (or anyone else) from waiting for a seat at Afuri. We were to realise that it was going to be a great dinner.
