Ramen in a Soup Made with the High-Class Ingredient “Yakiago”.

4.27 14

Last update :

An elegant Japanese-style ramen restaurant. The soup combines a broth made from domestic pork bones and chicken carcass, with the main ingredient being "Yakiago" - flying fish dried and grilled. Multiple types of seafood broth are layered in the mix. For the salt seasoning, "Yakiago" prepared using Takahashi's unique method is used, combining broth extracted at two different temperatures with salt from Okinawa. The refined and delicious flavor of the premium ingredient "Yakiago" is a highlight.

The noodles are specially ordered, developed in collaboration with a long-established noodle manufacturer in Kyoto. They are made exclusively from the central part of wheat, resulting in high-water, hand-kneaded style noodles with a pleasant texture.
Pouring the remaining soup over rice, preferably Niigata Koshihikari, turns it into ochazuke, allowing you to savor every last drop deliciously.

  • The Yakiago salt ramen has a rich broth that blends the umami of flying fish with pork bone soup. The flavor is definitely intense. Here, after finishing your ramen, you can get a bowl of white rice and pour the leftover soup over it to make ochazuke. Maybe it's just a cultural difference, but honestly, I find the combination of ramen and rice a bit strange.

  • If you don't like traditional Japanese ramen that's too salty or oily, the Yakiago Shio Ramen is the best choice. The broth has a nice seafood sweetness to it.

    The most popular ramen shop in Kabukicho! Had to take a photo for the 'gram!

    The flavor is really unique—I fell in love with it after just one try.

    There aren't many seats inside, so you might have to wait during busy times. But people eat pretty quickly. The signature flying fish ramen is delicious—highly recommended! 👍
