There’s one ramen place in Tokyo where you may have to line up as early as six in the morning to get a slurp of Michelin-starred noodle soup. That said eatery is no other than Tsuta, the very first ramen restaurant in the world to get a Michelin star.
Founded by chef/owner Yuki Onishi in 2012, Tsuta earned its first Michelin star in 2015 for Onishi’s innovative approach to ramen, from sourcing new ingredients to infusing truffle oil into aromatic dashi broth. Despite the Michelin accolades (and a relocation to the trendy Yoyogi-Uehara neighborhood), Tsuta has kept prices low at around 1,200 to 1,600 yen (approximately B345 to B460). And though Tsuta was dropped from the latest Michelin Guide Tokyo, the ramen place still lives up to its reputation.
The good news is, Tsuta has just opened in Bangkok on the third floor of Central World. This is Tsuta’s first outpost in Thailand and its fourth overseas.
