Bannai's Commitment

The noodles are high-hydration noodles made from a unique blend of flour with a high water content, giving them a chewy texture. After aging, a unique "wavy" texture is added, and by thoroughly coating them with soup, a blissful taste spreads with every bite. The char siu is Bannai's masterpiece. The homemade char siu, perfected through years of trial and error, has melting fat and juicy meat umami that dissolves into the soup. Sliced to an exquisite thickness, it brings rich happiness and satisfaction the moment you eat it. And the clear, rich soup is the important foundation that brings the noodles and char siu together. The clear soup, made only from pork bones without any impurities, is simple yet filled with skilled craftsmanship and love. Bannai's ramen is finished as the best bowl through the exquisite harmony of noodles, char siu, and soup.

Char Siu Ramen

A bowl full of handmade melt-in-your-mouth char siu, piled so high that the noodles are invisible – an undisputed No. 1 menu item!

Finely shredded green onions mixed with a special spicy sauce go perfectly with the soup. A popular item that was re-imported to "Bannai Shokudo."
