Craft Ramen

Every bowl here was built from scratch—broths simmered for hours (sometimes days), noodles made by hand, toppings prepped and plated with intention. What started as a pre-pandemic hobby turned into a genuine obsession with the craft of ramen. We started Ryuzashi Ramen in our hometown. Then the pandemic hit. OOPSIE! We did our best!

Each bowl was a different experiment in flavor, texture, and presentation. From rich tonkotsu to spicy red miso to hoosier-inspired fusions, every recipe was tweaked and refined over time. We also served hoosier-style okonomiyaki—which just meant adding cheese, potato, and additional pork (of course).
