Scan the ticket machine, check if there's an English menu, learn how to order — then walk in with confidence. Built for travelers in Japan.
Standing outside a ramen shop in Japan, not sure how it works? SLURP gets you through the door.
BEFORE YOU WALK IN
Every shop page starts with what you need to know first: English menu or not, cash only or cards, ticket machine or order at the counter, reservation or queue. No surprises.
READ THE TICKET MACHINE
Point your camera at the vending machine and SLURP decodes the buttons. Or search the built-in glossary of ramen and topping words in Japanese.
ORDER LIKE A LOCAL
Step-by-step guide: joining the queue, using the ticket machine, handing in your ticket, choosing noodle firmness and broth richness. Plus the Ramen Jiro call guide with voice readout for the famous topping order.
PAY AND EAT WITHOUT STRESS
Cash-only warnings, IC card tips, counter etiquette, how fast to eat, and the common mistakes travelers make — so you can relax and enjoy the bowl.
FIND A SHOP YOU CAN ACTUALLY ENTER
210 curated shops across Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Fukuoka, Sapporo, Yokohama and Nagoya, plus nearby shops on the map. Filter by English menu, vegetarian, halal, late night and budget. Walking directions in one tap.
