About this place
Crisply seared gyoza served alongside a generous mound of grated daikon define the dining style at Oshima Ramen Ginza. The house specialty Oshima Gyoza delivers a burst of juicy filling through a crisp wrapper, finished cleanly on the palate with a mix of grated daikon, vinegar soy sauce, and chili oil. Diners can order 5 pieces for a quick snack or choose the 15-piece assorted platter for a hearty spread, making it a familiar side to enjoy with a cold beer.
For noodles, the classic bowl is Oshima Ramen Shoyu, reminiscent of traditional Tokyo-style soy sauce ramen. Wavy noodles catch the clear, savory broth in an unpretentious presentation garnished with nori, menma bamboo shoots, and chashu pork. The menu extends to several broth profiles to suit any craving, including Oshima Ramen Miso made with house-prepared miso paste, a lighter scallop-oil-infused Oshima Ramen Shio, and the spicy Oni Oshima Ramen combining hot miso with grated nagaimo yam.
Hearty appetites can turn to combination meals, including gyoza sets pairing ramen with 5 dumplings, or han-chan ramen sets featuring a signature half portion of fried rice. Tossed over high heat, the fluffy, separated grains of fried rice complement the ramen broth well, making these sets just as satisfying for a midday meal as for late-night sustenance.
The counter-lined dining room along Shinanoki-dori provides an easy stop for solo diners, keeping its doors open until 03:30 on weeknights. Alongside cash, payments are accepted via major credit cards and QR code options such as PayPay, ensuring a seamless drop-in after exploring Ginza or wrapping up a workday.
