Afuri Harajuku
A Lighter Take on Ramen
Afuri is known for its signature yuzu shio (citrus salt) ramen — a lighter, more refreshing take compared to the rich tonkotsu bowls found everywhere in Tokyo. The clear golden broth is made from chicken and fish stock with a hint of yuzu citrus, creating a clean and aromatic flavor.
The noodles are thin and straight, pairing perfectly with the delicate soup. Toppings include tender chashu pork, a seasoned soft-boiled egg, and fresh vegetables.
The Space
The Harajuku location has a modern, clean interior that feels more like a cafe than a traditional ramen shop. Great choice if you want something lighter after a day of shopping on Takeshita Street.
Use the ticket machine at the entrance to order. English guidance is available on screen.
