About this place

Afuri draws its water from the springs of Mount Afuri in Kanagawa, and it shows in the clarity of their signature yuzu shio ramen. The broth is light, fragrant, and entirely without excess — a bowl that would feel at home in a Nordic kitchen. The Ebisu location keeps things tight: counter seating, clean lines, and a focus that matches the food. Beyond the yuzu shio, the yuzu shoyu adds soy depth, and the vegan option — rare in Tokyo ramen — uses a kelp and vegetable base that's surprisingly full-bodied. Toppings are minimal and precise: a slow-cooked egg, thin-sliced chashu, a few leaves of mizuna. Afuri has expanded to multiple locations, but the Ebisu original retains the energy of a place that knew exactly what it wanted to be from the start.
