Ramen Kokuu

Ramen Kokuu is a ramen shop in the 'Tantan-tei' lineage, nestled in a quiet alley away from the hustle and bustle of Shibuya-Sakuragaoka. The owner, trained at Fudomae's renowned 'Kazuya', crafts a deeply flavorful W-soup that harmonizes animal-based (chicken and pork) and seafood-based (dried sardines and bonito flakes) broths. A modest soy sauce seasoning enhances the natural umami of the ingredients, creating a profound taste. The authentic roasted chashu, grilled with a honey-infused sauce, is an exquisite delicacy reminiscent of a high-end Chinese restaurant. The wontons are also delicious with a pronounced ginger flavor. Enjoy a meticulously prepared bowl in a calm space with 9 counter seats. The shop operates on a ticket system and accepts cash only. While the ticket machine doesn't have English descriptions, recommended labels are provided, making menu selection relatively easy.
