    Best for

    Operating from a rustic shack with roof stovepipes beside Aoyama Cemetery, Kaotan Ramen has served night owls since the Bubble era. The clear pork and chicken stock carries deep aromatics from charred fried scallions (kogashi negi) and Chinese medicinal aromatics. Slender noodles slurp effortlessly through the savory broth until dawn.
