Life in Jakarta is exciting, but don’t you have moments when you’re in an unfamiliar environment and suddenly miss Japanese ramen?
Yes, I do. Especially ramen with pork, which isn’t so easy to find…
For those people, I recommend “Echigoya,” which is arguably the most popular ramen shop in Jakarta!

The charm of Echigoya is, without a doubt, its extensive menu! They have a wide lineup, from classic ramen to creative ramen. And all the noodles are homemade! They are so dedicated that they even have a noodle-making machine in the restaurant, so you can always enjoy fresh, chewy noodles.

They have a rich variety of ramen, and the homemade noodles are very delicious! My Indonesian friend is hooked on the spicy ramen and always orders level 2 here.

Easy for Women to Enter Alone! A Clean and Tidy Interior
The spacious interior has both counter and table seating, which can be used according to the occasion. Counter seats for solo diners, and table seats for groups—it’s easy to use anytime.
In fact, many women dine alone during lunchtime, so you can feel at ease. The table seats are spacious and recommended for girls’ gatherings, lunches with colleagues, and families with children.
When I took my 3-year-old child, they gave him a sushi-shaped candy as a gift!
