Store Overview

Features & Commitment

With a unique layout of a ramen shop on the first floor and a pub on the second, you can also enjoy ramen as a finishing touch to your meal.
The soup is an exquisite blend based on several types of dried sardines, rough mackerel, and kelp dashi, combined with chicken bones, pork bones, and aromatic vegetables.
The soy sauce is a blend of five different types, creating a mellow and deep flavor.
The noodles are medium-thin with a slight curl, characterized by their firm and chewy texture.
The chashu is made by marinating pork belly in a secret sauce and cooking it at a low temperature. It is seared before serving to bring out its aroma and the meat’s umami.
