The 2025 Local Ramen Election: A Unique Delivery Experience
From November 26 to November 30, 2025, the vibrant suburb of Shinjuku will host the much-anticipated
2025 Local Ramen Election at Ohkubo Park. This festival brings together the top contenders representing various regional styles of ramen across Japan. Organized in collaboration with the renowned
TOKYO RAMEN SHOW and
Otsuke Men Hakko, this event showcases the essence of Japan’s rich ramen culture.
A Celebration of Local Flavors
The event is not just about noodles; it’s a competition where ten finalists will battle it out to be crowned the best local ramen in Japan. Each finalist carries the hopes and dreams of their hometowns, having triumphed in fierce preliminary rounds held nationwide. With the support of the ramen-loving audience, they will compete for this prestigious title in Tokyo.
For ramen enthusiasts unable to attend in person, menu plans to offer a
delivery service from the event venue. Customers within a 6 km radius of Ohkubo Park can enjoy the same delicious ramen for
1,100 yen (including tax), directly from the comfort of their homes or offices.
How the Delivery Works
Using the menu app, users can order from the selected ten ramen options. With the excitement of the event just a few taps away, ramen lovers can avoid the crowds and the weather while experiencing the unique flavors of local ramen.

To enhance the experience, menu is also launching a campaign during the election period. For every order over 1,100 yen, customers will receive a
