Ramen Benkei Asakusa
We are committed to our unique Benkei manufacturing method, which uses fresh, high-quality domestic pork back fat, combined with a soup made from pork and chicken bones.
The melting point of the back fat is as low as 27-30°C, and it melts as soon as you put it in your mouth, so it looks rich but tastes light.
The hearty toppings, especially the generous portions of green onions and bean sprouts, are popular.
