Tokyo entices food lovers with its vibrant restaurant scene, where an eclectic mix of international flavours intertwines, inviting diners on a mouthwatering journey of culinary fusion. Renowned for its refined take on traditional Chinese soba, Ginza Hachigou offers a unique ramen experience crafted by Chef Yasushi Matsumura, who brings decades of French culinary expertise to his ramen creations. The signature dish is the Chuka Soba, a clear golden soup made without broth or stock and rich in umami from ingredients like duck, chicken, scallops, and shiitake mushrooms. The soup’s refined savoury flavour is enhanced by cured ham, creating a luxurious and delicate taste. The noodles, specially made by the traditional Asakusa Kaikaro establishment, have a smooth texture and a firmness similar to pasta, perfectly complementing the soup. Popular menu options include the Regular Chuka Soba, the Ajitama Chuka Soba topped with a seasoned boiled egg, and the Special Chuka Soba with extra toppings. Alternatively, Katsukami is a recommended choice if you’re in the mood to try Japanese tonkatsu. Unlike typical tonkatsu spots, Katsukami offers an omakase-style dining where each cutlet is freshly fried and served one piece at a time, ensuring optimal crispness and juiciness. Popular menu items include premium cuts such as tenderloin, loin, shoulder loin, and rare parts like pork cheek and inner thigh. The pork is sourced from renowned Japanese brands, with lunch featuring cuts from Gunma Prefecture and dinner offering premium Yamagata pork. Diners are encouraged to first taste the meat au naturel, then with a touch of Himalayan salt, and finally with two signature sauces: a rich koikuchi sauce for fatty loin and a lighter karakuchi sauce for tenderloin. Dinner service also includes a special balsamic vinegar sauce, ideal for pairing with wine.
