The Core Concept

About Our Food
RAKKAN is a focused ramen shop serving authentic Japanese ramen. The broth is built to amplify flavor with a “dashi bomb,” using carefully chosen vegetables and RAKKAN’s own fermented seasonings to bring out rich umami—without using meat or seafood in the broth.
About Umami and RAKKAN’s Broth
Umami is a key element of RAKKAN’s flavor approach, commonly associated with fermented seasonings in Japanese cuisine. RAKKAN’s umami broth highlights ingredients such as kombu (kelp) dashi, mushrooms, onion, garlic, ginger, and carrot to create depth and satisfaction in every bowl.
What Makes RAKKAN Unique
- Top-quality fermented seasoning: Flavor-forward seasonings rooted in Japanese culinary tradition.
- Water: Emphasis on purified water as an important ramen ingredient.
- Noodles: Noodles made specifically for RAKKAN recipes.
Our Strength
