One of the finest ramen shops I’ve ever had the privilege to visit. Their strength is the deep miso broth and completely mind blowing pork chashu. There is a bit of weakness regarding the ajitama and noodles but it’s a strong 4 stars from me.

The bowl is garnished with the whiter part of Negi on top. There is a half ajitama which could use a few seconds less boiling and a day or two more curing in chashu braising liquid (in my opinion). However the ajitama is not bad.. it’s just adequate. The noodles are on the same level as the ajitama.. adequate but not incredible.

What IS incredible is the miso broth which is surely the finest miso broth I’ve ever tried. I feel sure that the satisfyingly deep colour comes from caramelisation of either chicken or pork. This deeply satisfying caramel flavour lends the broth a depth and subtle sweetness. The broth tastes surprisingly delicate and of course there are complex flavours of miso throughout. The broth is perfect fly seasoned. The fat content of the broth doesn’t seem high and yet the broth sticks to your palate and sends your brain completely over the edge. This broth is why we eat ramen ✌🏻

I ordered extra pork chashu which came in the soup. The soup already comes with a perfectly rendered pork belly chashu slice. I highly advise you to order the extra pork chashu option. I think I might have got really lucky and got the money muscle part of the shoulder for my extra chashu. It was honestly the perfect piece of pork. Both the belly and the shoulder melted apart. Truly outstanding pork chashu.

This shop has very little to do to become the undisputed champion of Hokkaido miso ramen. I hope they will make their own noodles and add a deeply cured whole egg to the mix. The staff are friendly and kind. Thank you very much 🙏
