in Seoul with mainland ramen
Seoul's top 3 xx It's actually up to me to recommend something like this. lol
What AI selects is different, and even if you ask a restaurant blogger, it is actually different. It's either a restaurant that I enjoyed eating at or a restaurant that was recommended by others. So, it seems correct to say that the three major ramen restaurants are the ones closest to mainland Japan.
Yeonnam-dong 566 Ramen (Jiro-gye Ramen)
Jiro Ramen, located in Yeonnam-dong, is a ramen restaurant famous for its rich Japanese soup and unique noodles. This place is especially known for serving Jiro-style ramen. Ramen that follows Ramen Jiro's recipe is often classified as 'Jiro-style ramen'.
Ramen Jiro's style is characterized by its overwhelming portion size and rich, spicy taste. It's so much in every way, from the soup, noodles, and toppings. The garnishes piled so high that the bowl almost overflowed, the 'Hirauchi noodles' with a thick and blocky texture like kalguksu, and the broth with soy sauce and pork fat that emphasized the salty and oily taste. In particular, it contains a lot of garlic, which is rarely added in ramen.
In Seoul, '566 Ramen' in Yeonnam-dong is famous for its style most similar to the Tokyo main branch of Ramen Jiro. In particular, the generous amount of bean sprouts and cabbage on the bowl is a detail point that authenticates Jiro's unique vegetable soup. Except for special menu days, Jiro-based ramen is sold all day long.

Seoul National University Station Railiken
Rairaiken Ramen House takes its name from the first ramen restaurant in Tokyo, and the basic ramen it serves is tonkotsu ramen. Located across from Exit 7 of Seoul National University Station and at the beginning of the food alley in Haeun-dong, you can enjoy ramen in a small and cozy atmosphere.
Chinese soba, as befits the name 'Junghwa', is a ramen with a rich flavor unique to Chinese cuisine. A spicy scent wafts. It is the aroma and taste produced when green onion oil or pork fat is stir-fried with strong heat. It is usually made by mixing clear chicken broth that has been steeped for a long time and shoyu soy sauce, and includes thin somen, shredded green onions, thick meat chashu, and braised bamboo shoots called menma.
Rairaiken takes its name from a ramen restaurant with a long history in Japan and offers the taste of traditional ramen.
Various menus :
In addition to ramen, you can enjoy a variety of side dishes and drinks. Located near Daehak-ro, Seoul, orders are placed through a kiosk.
In Japan, it is a dish that can be easily and commonly eaten like sundae soup, but in Korea, it is difficult to find the delicious taste of Chinese soba. Then, I finally found and settled in a small ramen shop called ‘Rai Raiken’ in Gwanak-gu, Seoul. This is a restaurant where you can expect authentic ramen dishes with a good assortment.

Hapjeong-dong Oreno Ramen Tori Paitan
Oreno Ramen, located in Hapjeong-dong, is a place that serves rich and deep-flavored ramen based on chicken broth, and is loved by many people. Here, you can experience the taste of traditional Japanese ramen in Seoul.
It is a white-tang ramen based on chicken that has been boiled in a pot for a long time, and the recipe is slightly modified at each store. The deep savory flavor of the white soup is attractive, and it is a menu item that has been increasingly being served in Korea in recent years. It was a ramen commonly found in ramen shops in the Tokyo area that often use chicken broth.
What stands out compared to tori paitan from other stores is the blending of the soup. When you scoop up the broth and drink it, you can clearly feel the presence of the pork broth, which adds another umami flavor to the savory chicken broth. The signature ramen, Tori Paitan, takes the balance of taste to a higher level by mixing and matching chicken-heavy dishes with the strengths of other ingredients.
