Ramen The Cure

ราเมงจะเยียวยาทุกสิ่ง

หากใจของท่านเหนื่อยล้า จงเดินหาร้านราเมง

A sommelier's guide to the ramen worth travelling for — and the shops behind it.

What’s new

v1.2.021 Sept 2026Keep the shops you are weighing up, and be ready when their books open.
  • NEWMy Roster — save any shop with the heart, then tick the ones you are deciding between and compare their opening days in one step.
  • NEWUpcoming bookings: shops that release seats on a schedule now show when the next opening is, in Japan time.
  • NEWBooking alerts export to your own calendar with a 30-minute reminder, so the moment reaches you without this site being open.
  • CHANGEDSaving and comparing are separate limits now, because they are different things: your plan says how many shops you may keep and how many you may compare at once.

Known issues

  • Booking openings are only as good as what we have recorded. A shop with no rule on file simply does not appear in the list — it does not mean the shop takes walk-ins.
  • A monthly rule that falls on a day a short month does not have is moved to that month's last day, and the entry says so. That is our arithmetic, not the shop's announcement.
  • The scoring panel and the grading methodology are still switched off while the wording is rewritten.
v1.1.018 Sept 2026A directory you can actually search, and shop pages that lead with the bowl.
  • NEWFilters moved into a rail beside the results, so the list changes while you are still looking at it.
  • NEWSort the directory by shop tier, name or Tabelog score.
  • NEWShop photographs and logos on the directory cards, and a booking link on the shop page where one is recorded.
  • CHANGEDThe labels say what they mean: Shop Tier, Worth going, Getting in, Who it's for.
  • FIXEDThe TRY badge no longer says “Winner”. Shops place in divisions and make lists; most of them did not win the thing.
v1.0.08 Sept 2026Phase 1, gathered into one entry. Everything below existed before this log did.
  • NEWThe shop directory, with the guide's own grades for taste, travel and how hard a shop is to get into.
  • NEWOpening calendars per shop, with four honest states — open, closed, called off late, and not announced yet.
  • NEWThe itinerary matrix: a Sunday-to-Saturday comparison across the shops you picked, with ticket clashes and overlapping services flagged.
  • NEWExport a finished week to your calendar, and a day's route to Google Maps.
  • NEWSearch by area on the map, for the Sommelier plan.
  • NEWInvite-only accounts with three plans, managed by hand while payment is verified by a person.
