The popular Okinawan ramen "Ryukyu Shin? Tongtang" temporarily closed in July due to lease expiration, leaving many fans disappointed. Now, the Ryukyu Shin Ramen – Tongtang Taiwan branch has reopened as a “ramen izakaya” in a strong comeback at Guangfu South Road.

In addition to its signature “Gender Ramen,” Ryukyu Shin Ramen – Tongtang also offers distinctive Okinawan izakaya dishes. This year-end comeback sees it opening a street-front store in Taipei’s East District, along with “Grand Opening Offers” and “Return Gratitude Festival Discounts,” including a buy-one-get-one-free ramen promotion.
The reopening combines ramen with izakaya elements, and includes buy-one-get-one-free promotions.
Taiwan Tongtang Ramen Izakaya – Guangfu Store not only serves ramen but also features authentic Okinawan-style skewers, fried foods, and drinks, offering an immersive taste of Okinawan izakaya culture. Grand opening offer: Order any ramen, take a photo, check in, and share it to receive one free pork belly skewer.
There’s not just a grand opening gift—there’s also a gratitude season promotion.
"Ryukyu Shin? Tongtang" is famed for claiming to serve the world’s first “gendered noodles,” divided into a rich pork bone broth “Male Flavor” and a light, smooth salt-flavored chicken broth “Female Flavor.” The names “Male Flavor” and “Female Flavor” were inspired by the diverse opinions during the naming of the pork bone and salt-flavored broths, and the creative terms unexpectedly won widespread acclaim, so they’ve been retained ever since.
When Tongtang Ramen came to Taiwan, it sparked a lot of discussion and drew huge crowds.
Beyond the opening event, from now until December 29, there’s also a limited-time buy-one-get-one-free gratitude promotion for the strong comeback. Just show your Naha Airport entry stamp in your passport, and you can enjoy buy-one-get-one-free on any ramen！
