Ichikakuya’s iekei ramen features a rich and creamy tonkotsu soup carefully prepared with dedication, paired with Ichikakuya’s specially made chewy medium-thick noodles that hold the soup well. It is a bowl the company is proud of, one that becomes more addictive after the second and third time. Ichikakuya operates under the slogan, “Once you try it, you’ll be hooked. Twice, you’ll never forget it. Three times, you won’t be able to stop.” The brand serves Yokohama-style iekei ramen made with medium-thick noodles focused on wheat aroma and depth of flavor, combined with a rich and creamy tonkotsu soup. To deliver its carefully crafted iekei ramen to more customers, Ichikakuya operates more than 100 stores across Japan.
