Today’s Special Menu
・Niigata Shoyu Ichikara Backfat Ramen (新潟醤油　いちから背脂ラーメン)
・Meat-wrapped Rice Ball (肉巻きおにぎり) x 1 piece

What’s Backfat?
Backfat is the fat from the back of a pig, and when added to ramen, it enhances the richness of the broth and creates a delicious pairing with the noodles. This indulgent addition also complements the other ingredients, bringing out the deep flavors.
But let’s be honest – it’s rich and indulgent. So, as tasty as it is, a little moderation is key!

How’s the Shoyu Ramen?
The moment you take a sip of the broth, you’ll notice its depth. It’s a bold, rich soy sauce-based broth – those who aren’t fans of saltiness may find it a bit intense, but it’s the perfect match for the chewy, thick noodles. Topped with narutomaki, spinach, scallions, bamboo shoots, half a boiled egg, and a sprinkling of crunchy seaweed, the balance of textures and flavors is spot-on. As a personal fan of seaweed, I couldn’t have been more pleased!

Meat-wrapped Rice Ball
A delightful bite, this dish features rice seasoned with bonito flakes, wrapped in tender pork, and drizzled generously with sweet teriyaki sauce. It’s the perfect companion to your rich ramen. The combination of the hearty rice ball and the flavorful ramen will satisfy even the most serious fans of indulgent foods.
