Akasaka,Ittembari is like that one perfect bowl that satisfies your soul. Every bite is a harmony of rich broth, springy noodles, and delicious toppings- all coming together in a single, unforgettable experience.
Ittembari ramen special by the dedication to making the best possible bowl by craftsmanship. Main broth is miso and today ordered simple spicy miso, however they also serve tonkotsu, shoyu(soy sauce). The bowl is a masterpiece, carefully balanced for maximum flavor. You can also try simple miso ramen or special toppings Akamaori.
Noodles
Ittembari’s ramen noodles are firm and chewy, designed to perfectly complement the rich broth. They are typically medium-thick, with just the right amount of elasticity to absorb the flavors while maintaining a satisfying texture.
Soup
The soup is deeply flavorful and well-balanced, often featuring a thick, umami-rich broth. Ittenbari’s soup is known for its depth and complexity, achieved through long hours of simmering high-quality ingredients.
Toppings
A bowl of Ittenbari ramen typically features high-quality toppings such as:
Chashu (braised pork belly or shoulder) Tender, melt-in-your-mouth slices that add extra richness.
Ajitama (marinated soft-boiled egg). A perfectly runny or jammy egg, full of flavor.
Menma (seasoned bamboo shoots). Adds a bit of crunch chewing.
Many Ittenbari locations have a small, traditional Japanese-style setup with counter seating.
If ramen is the star, then fried rice (chahan) is the hero that steals the show! Their fried rice is not just a side dish but a work of art, crafted with the same dedication and precision as their legendary ramen.
Every grain of rice is perfectly coated in flavor, stir-fried at just the right temperature. The balance of fluffy eggs, juicy pork, fresh scallions, and just the right amount of seasoning creates a harmony of textures and tastes that keep me coming back for more.
