Among Tokyo’s new generation of ramen shops,「Ramen Break Beats」has quickly built a reputation as one of the city’s most exciting destinations. Located in Meguro and operating largely by reservation, the shop has earned recognition in the Michelin Guide with a Bib Gourmand distinction and has been selected multiple times for the Tabelog Ramen Tokyo Top 100 list.

Behind the counter is owner-chef Takuro Yanase (柳瀬拓郎), a former DJ from Fukuoka whose background in music inspired both the restaurant’s name and its rhythm-driven concept. The energy of hip-hop and “break beats” carries through the dining room, creating a ramen experience that blends culinary precision with a distinctive cultural identity.

The shop’s signature soy-sauce ramen showcases a clear, elegant broth and carefully prepared noodles, emphasizing purity and balance. Each bowl is designed with the same attention to rhythm and composition that once guided Yanase’s music — layered, deliberate, and deeply satisfying.

In a city overflowing with ramen talent,「Ramen Break Beats」stands out for its originality. It represents a new wave of ramen culture — one where craft, creativity, and personality come together to produce bowls that feel both modern and unmistakably Tokyo.

人気ラーメンが刻むビートとは？


東京の目黒区のあるラーメン店『Ramen Break Beats』へ。

店主の柳瀬拓郎氏はDJとして活動していた経歴を持ち、その名残が店名に刻まれている。ラーメンと音楽、一見交わらないようなジャンルの組み合わせだが、実際に店を訪れると、整然としたビジュアルと繊細な味わいが、まるで美しく編み込まれた楽曲のように響き合っているのを感じる。この店を皮切りに、新宿には「Ramen Afro Beats」、中目黒には「Ramen Jazzy Beats」と、リズムを感じる名前の系列店を展開。まるで音楽ジャンルごとに違ったビートが流れるように、それぞれの店舗が独自のラーメンスタイルを奏でております。

提供するラーメンは、地鶏や厳選した素材を使用した醤油と塩の2本柱。今回は「特上醤油らぁ麺」を選択。

品のある端正なルックス。透き通るような醤油スープは、芳醇で奥行きのある味わいだが、どこかエッジの効いた尖りも持ち合わせている。出汁感にばかり頼るだけでなく、醤油の個性が際立っているようだ。麺は三河屋製麺の中加水のしなやかなストレート麺。噛むほどに小麦の風味が広がり、スープとのバランスも見事。

そして、驚くべきは特上におけるトッピングの充実度。低温のスモークチャーシュー、国産豚肩ロースの低温煮込み焼豚。さらに、ワンタンやフライドエノキまで加わり、まるでシャルキュトリーの盛り合わせを楽しむような感覚に。スープ、麺、具材、それぞれが重なって１つの楽曲のように調和を作ります。

DJとしてビートを紡いできた店主が、今度はラーメンというフィールドで、新たなリズムを刻んでいるようです。ご馳走様でした。

特上塩らぁ麺 / Tokujo Shio Ramen / Ramen Break Beats - Yūtenji, Tokyo

Clear soup uses special Amakusa-Daiou brand chickens from Fukuoka Prefecture. The chickens arrive each day fresh (never frozen) and are immediately put into the soup pot.

特上塩らぁ麺 / Tokujo Shio Ramen / Ramen Break Beats - Yūtenji, Tokyo

Clear soup uses special Amakusa-Daiou brand chickens from Fukuoka Prefecture. The chickens arrive each day fresh (never frozen) and are immediately put into the soup pot. The next day the carcasses are removed and chicken meat is left in the pot to simmer, resulting in a consommé that the master calls “Yobimodoshi Chintan.” Shio tare uses salt from Setonaikai, shoyu is sourced from Fukuoka. Noodles supplied by Mikawaya Seimen. Slow-cooked pork chashu is seasoned with only salt and then smoked. Menma comes from the master's hometown of Itoshima, Fukuoka prefecture. Also topped with ajitama, chicken chashu, sea bream, enoki, negi, nori, tomato and wontons.

Run by master Yanase-san, who also goes by DJ Yanase. Previously he worked as a chef in Canada for eight years, teaching himself how to make ramen and serving it during lunch hours. After returning to Japan he went to eat ramen at the famous shop Shibasakitei almost every weekend, getting some advice from the master there before opening his own place. He chose a location in Meguro-ku near Yūtenji, not far from his in-law’s house. Most of the ingredients used are from Kyushu, where he is from. Seven seats. Open since January 8th, 2022. @ramenbreakbeats @djyanase_ramen Less
