Three bowls we’d stake the name on.

Every ramen comes with house noodles and a soft egg. Ask for extra chashu, a firmer noodle or a richer broth.

  1. Bones roastPork trotters and neck bones go into a hot oven.
  2. Noodles are cutFlour, kansui and water, rested, rolled and cut by hand.
  3. Rolling boilThe pot runs hard all day to turn collagen into a creamy broth.
  4. Doors openYesterday’s broth is in the bowls; today’s keeps simmering.
  5. Hour eighteenThe new broth is strained, cooled and ready for tomorrow.
