\u25a0 "Soup Shop" \u2014 Soup is the star<\/strong>
Gyokotsuya is not your average ramen shop.
This is a restaurant where you can savor the soup.
While traditional ramen relies on a balance of noodles, toppings, and soup, our restaurant defies this convention by adopting a design that places the soup at the forefront.
This brand is supervised by "Ajimi," a kappo (traditional Japanese) restaurant located in Nakasu, Fukuoka.
Based on the techniques of chefs who have earned Michelin stars, we are reconstructing the delicate dashi (broth) culture of Japanese cuisine in the form of ramen.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u25a0 Why don't we serve char siu?<\/strong> <br \/> Char siu is arguably the star of most ramen dishes.
However, we deliberately choose not to use it in our store.
There is only one reason.
Because it destroys the delicate flavor of the fish.
By eliminating animal-based fats and aromas, we maximize the inherent purity of the soup.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u25a0 Three essential principles<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2460 Ingredients for the soup<\/strong> Ingredients exist to enhance the soup.
Only carefully selected ingredients are used: small shrimp tempura, green onions, seaweed, and cabbage.
In particular, the tempura of small shrimp is prepared using traditional Japanese techniques, which adds a savory aroma and depth to the flavor of the fish.<\/p>\n

\u2461 The noodles are designed to play a supporting role<\/strong> . The main star is the soup.
Noodles exist to carry that.
The specially made noodles, with their chewy texture, blend perfectly with the soup, creating a harmonious and satisfying bowl of ramen.<\/p>\n

\u2462 A rich soup made from sea bream bones<\/strong> <br \/> The soup is made using sea bream bones as a base, and is carefully prepared using Japanese culinary techniques.
By thoroughly eliminating any unwanted flavors, we extract a clear and rich umami taste.
We've expressed the potential of the sea bream, often called the "king of fish," in the form of ramen.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u25a0 A new food culture in Ginza's late-night scene<\/strong> <br \/>Opening hours: 9 PM to 4 AM the following day.
It offers a new value to Ginza nights, not just as a "finishing touch" after drinking, but as a new destination in itself\u2014a place to "go for soup."<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

In addition, the same store operates "Unagi no Eight Ginza" during lunchtime.
This restaurant specializes in eel dishes and is popular with inbound tourists. Its distinctive feature is its dual-purpose style of serving eel during the day and fish bone ramen at night.
At Unagi no Eight, they serve eel with a melt-in-your-mouth texture, utilizing authentic Japanese cooking techniques, and their cooking skills and philosophy regarding broth are also applied to Gyokotsuya.<\/p>\n
