The current shoyu or seasonal signature bowl

The story behind the bowl

Kuma is the personal project of Tran Nam Nguyen, a chef who helped push Berlin ramen toward smaller batches, sharper technique and a distinctly independent voice. The menu changes, so the most interesting bowl is often the one being cooked now rather than an old online favorite.

Before you go: Check Kuma's same-day post before going. The counter is intimate, specials rotate and sell-outs are part of the format.
