Luxurious ramen from Ginza Kagari
Don’t be surprised that there always seems to be a line outside of Ginza Kagari. This small ramen-ya has all the style you’d expect of a restaurant in Tokyo’s upscale Ginza area. They serve ramen with artfully arranged seasonal ingredients in an intimate space. Although Kagari’s atmosphere and cuisine are definitely first-class, the price is surprisingly reasonable. Can we say under 1,000 yen for a bowl of their popular Tori Paitan ramen?
The ramen at Ginza Kagari is made with the same attention to seasonal ingredients and visually pleasing presentation that you’d expect to find when enjoying kaiseki ryori, a type of high-end traditional Japanese dining. Instead of just placing the toppings in the bowl, the chef thoughtfully arranges them on slices of chicken. As if that wasn’t enough, the chef took the time to cut the carrots to look like maple leaves for their fall ramen. You certainly don’t find that at a typical ramen-ya.
And let’s not forget about the soup. Packed with chicken flavor, this creamy shio-based soup almost clings to the noodles as you eat. Delicious. Lastly, you can also opt to add more veggies to your ramen if you’re so inclined and have a little extra to spend.
Ginza Kagari has only eight counter seats. That’s it. (If you want to pretend it’s some super exclusive restaurant, go ahead. We won’t tell.) All the seats have a view into the kitchen, so you can watch as the chef crafts each bowl of ramen while you wait for your meal.
When the smartly-dressed chef reaches over and sets your beautiful meal down in front of you, you’ll probably find it hard to believe that you’re in a ramen-ya. That, and it's all still under 1,000 yen. Enjoy!
