Misu This swanky eatery serves up three different kinds of ramen—a traditional miso broth that's all sorts of salty and soupy; a spicy Korean one that involves lots of kimchi; and a flavourful vegan variant, which is heavy on the greens

Harima, Bengaluru One of the oldest Japanese restaurants in Bangalore, they have a Shoyu ramen that consists of a creamy, soy-based chicken broth, a spicy tantanmen with doubanjiang, which is a fermented spicy bean paste
