A 'Celebratory Bowl' arrives from Niigata Ramen Mujinzou! Spring-limited 'Sea Bream Salt Shrimp Wonton' launches April 1st

Niigata Ramen Mujinzou, operated by Kitakata Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Niigata City, Niigata Prefecture), will release its spring-limited seasonal menu item, 'Sea Bream Salt Shrimp Wonton,' starting Wednesday, April 1, 2026. Fitting for the month of April, which marks the start of new beginnings, this is a luxurious ramen featuring domestic sea bream—a 'celebratory' (medetai) ingredient—combined with shrimp wontons.

A supreme soup of red sea bream and chicken bone broth. A bowl that captures the essence of spring. This dish features a salt-based soup that layers the richness of chicken bone broth onto a stock carefully extracted from domestic red sea bream. A special salt sauce made with Okinawa's 'Shimamasu' salt is used to bring out the delicate umami of the sea bream to its fullest.

Furthermore, the addition of yuzu paste suppresses the fish's characteristic odor, resulting in a clean aftertaste. With every bite, the elegant umami of the sea bream and the refreshing aroma of yuzu spread through the palate.

Plump shrimp wontons and sakura shrimp create a spring-like flair. For toppings, we use hearty shrimp-filled wontons. Their succulent, plump texture matches the soup perfectly.

Additionally, the inclusion of fragrant sakura shrimp adds a spring-like color and a rich aroma. The dish is crafted so that you can enjoy a 'harmony of seafood' in every bite.

A perfect match for Mujinzou's signature 'Kaki-shibu' (persimmon tannin) noodles! We use our signature 'Kaki-shibu noodles,' handmade at our own noodle factory, known for their smooth and chewy texture.

They pair well with the clear soup, allowing you to enjoy a crisp, refreshing flavor until the very last drop.
