Best ramen in Tokyo

Tokyo's ramen scene is the deepest in Japan: the Hyakumeiten Top 100 for Tokyo ramen alone is longer than most cities' entire lists. Shoyu is the native style, but every regional style has a flagship shop here. Ikebukuro, Shinjuku and the Ogikubo to Koenji stretch of the Chuo line are the densest clusters, and the late-night bowls around Shinjuku and Shibuya run past 3 a.m.
