We visit Tengokuya, featured in Best of the Best RAMEN, in Machida City, Tokyo. With an exceptional Tabelog rating of 3.81, this shop ranks within the elite-tier of ramen shops in Japan. Needless to say, it is a must-try for ramen enthusiasts.
Speaking of elite, the current women’s IBF Jr. Mini Flyweight world champion, Saemi Hanagata, actually works at the shop when she’s not training! Saemi recently had her first ever title-defense in September 2019, and succcessfully retained her belt.

Tengokuya has a fairly wide menu, which means repeat visits are likely necessary if you want to try all their offerings. It’s a lengthy 20-minute walk from Naruse Station (or bus it from the station), requiring a little extra effort to access, which goes to show this place is for the dedicated at heart, but your efforts will be rewarded with knock-out taste.
