If you’ve ever wanted to devour a bowl of ramen without making a single word of eye contact with another human, welcome to Ichiran — the place where your social battery stays 100%.

Here’s how it works:
Walk in → get a ticket from a vending machine → sit in your own little ramen booth (think library cubicle, but steamier) → fill out a taste form → slide it through a window → and voilà, ramen magically appears.

No talking. No awkward “enjoy your meal.” Just you and your noodles.

It’s like a silent retreat, but with tonkotsu broth.
And honestly? Kind of therapeutic.
