The kitchen here is led by 2002 TV Champion-winning Yasuji Morizumi, a former French cuisine chef who combines his Gallic culinary background with Japanese traditional noodles. Yasuji now owns more than 20 ramen restaurants in Japan and the US. The tonkatsu ramen is the original hit; you’ll be served a bowl of noodles in concentrated pork-bone soup that’s been cooked for more than 15 hours, topped with Japanese bunching onions and slices of special grilled pork.
