Ebi miso in the recommended balance

The story behind the bowl

Ichigen builds ramen around sweet shrimp heads, creating an orange, roasted shellfish broth unlike the city’s standard miso bowls. Diners choose seasoning and the balance between shrimp stock and pork soup.

Before you go: Select the shop’s recommended blend on a first visit; the pure shrimp option is much more intense.
