Taipei’s East District is packed with dining options, and in the past year, many well-known Japanese ramen brands have established presences along Lane 216, making it a true ramen paradise. Popular spots include “Joken Tei Ramen” from Kanagawa Prefecture, “Enjin Ramen” from Hokkaido, “Tokyo Eagle Ramen” and “Setagaya Ramen” from Tokyo, as well as the bold-flavored “Menya Musashi.” If you’re in Taipei and craving ramen, this is the place to go.

● Joken Tei
Joken Tei Ramen is known for its rich and intense pork bone broth, enhanced with a specially made black garlic sesame oil that boasts a smoky aroma, paired with melt-in-your-mouth slices of char siu pork. The flavor is so memorable that it has won accolades at the TBS Ramen King Competition, TRY Awards, and Television Champion. Now, you can savor its deliciousness without flying to Japan.
