Last update :

This ramen restaurant features an elegant Japanese-style interior.
The soup combines pork bone broth made with Japanese pork and chicken stock with several types of seafood dashi, centered on yakiago, or grilled dried flying fish. The salt seasoning sauce features yakiago grilled using Takahashi's proprietary method, with Okinawan salt added to dashi extracted at two different temperatures. It is known for the refined, savory flavor of premium yakiago.

The custom noodles were developed in collaboration with a long-established noodle maker in Kyoto. Made exclusively with specially milled flour from the center of the wheat kernel, these high-hydration, hand-kneaded-style noodles have a pleasantly chewy texture.
After finishing the noodles, pour the remaining soup over rice made with Niigata-grown Koshihikari rice to enjoy it ochazuke-style down to the last drop.

    This popular spot definitely lives up to the hype! I came in just to give it a try and ended up becoming a huge fan. The grilled flying fish broth was incredibly aromatic, and the noodles soaked up all that flavor. Every bite was so satisfying. I kept thinking about giving up while waiting in line, but after eating, all I could say was, “I’m so glad I stayed!”

    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! 👍
