How to find the latest-open bowl

Why late-night ramen hits different
There is a reason ramen is the classic after-hours meal in Japan β a hot, rich bowl is exactly what you want late at night, whether you are coming off a shift or closing down the bars. The shops that stay open late know their crowd and tend to serve fast, comforting bowls built for the hour.
