About
Tani Ramen opened in 1967 in Marusan Yokocho, a narrow passage tucked under the elevated railway between Yurakucho and Tokyo Station, close to the Tokyo International Forum. The setting is the attraction as much as the food: a small counter under century-old brick arches where trains rumble overhead. The menu centres on straightforward ramen and a few heartier variations, cooked fast for office workers on a lunch break. It is a weekday operation that closes on weekends, so plan a visit between meetings or sightseeing in Marunouchi.
