Ramen EXPO 2025 — 40 Bowls, Photographed

40 bowls from Hokkaido to Miyazaki — every shop, region and soup type

Every bowl we ate at the 11th Ramen EXPO, held 22 Nov – 30 Dec 2025 at Expo '70 Commemorative Park, Osaka.
Photographed Nov–Dec 2025 / Updated 15 Sep 2026★ 2026 dates, tickets and access →

Ramen is one of the dishes that defines Japanese food culture. Ramen EXPO gathers 60 shops hand-picked from every corner of Japan in one place — Expo '70 Park in Suita, Osaka — so that visitors from Japan and abroad can taste bowls from Hokkaido to Kyushu in a single trip. It is one of the largest ramen events in the country. Below are the 40 bowls we actually ate at the 2025 festival, grouped by region, with each shop's name, home prefecture and soup type.

🗺 Open Expo '70 Park on the 3D map Ramen EXPO 2026 guide → All ramen shops in Suita →

Five shops you can also eat at in or near Suita

Ramen Kudo (Kishibe), make noodle Kashigu (Esaka), Ramen Core-Core (Esaka) and Menbo Buta Craft (Esaka) have their home restaurant in Suita, and Mannen has a branch by JR Senrioka station about 3 km from the park. Festival bowls are small; at the shop you get the full-size version.

All 40 bowls by region

From north to south. Shop names are kept in Japanese (that is what you will see on the banners); the English line explains the dish, and the tags show the soup type where the menu name made it clear.

FAQ

Will the same shops come in 2026?

The line-up changes every year. Some 2025 shops may return, but the 2026 list has not been announced yet.

The bowls look small — is that the real portion?

Yes. Festival bowls are smaller than a normal restaurant serving (about half to two-thirds), sized so you can compare several shops.

Is there ramen without pork?

Chicken-paitan, seafood and beef-bone shops often have pork-free broth, but most still use pork chashu as a topping. Always check at the stall. Nothing at the festival is halal-certified.

How do I read the Japanese banners?

Look for these words: 醤油 shoyu, 塩 shio, 味噌 miso, 豚骨 tonkotsu, 鶏白湯 chicken paitan, 辛 spicy, 魚介 seafood, 蟹 crab. Our cards above use the same tags.

Last verified: 2026-09-15 Shop names, regions and dish names were transcribed from the banners and the line-up board at the venue. Soup-type tags are only given where the dish name makes the type clear.
