Japanese Ichiran Ramen is not only loved by Taiwanese but also extremely popular in Hong Kong. Following the opening of its first branch in Hong Kong’s Causeway Bay in 2013, another location was launched in Tsim Sha Tsui in June 2015 as its second overseas branch. In addition to the familiar “Flavor Concentration Counter” dining space, the Tsim Sha Tsui branch also incorporates the design of Fukuoka’s traditional street food stalls with the introduction of “Ichiran Yatai” seating, filling the entire space with an authentic Japanese atmosphere. Moreover, the Tsim Sha Tsui Ichiran Ramen branch boasts a total of 182 seats, making it the largest branch in the world.

Ichiran Ramen is a renowned ramen shop originating from Fukuoka, offering customers the ability to customize their ramen flavor. Options include richness level, toppings, soup base seasoning, and noodle firmness — all without additional charges — allowing foreign customers who may not be accustomed to Japan’s traditionally rich and strong-flavored ramen to easily get into it, which has made it very popular among tourists. This time, the Tsim Sha Tsui Ichiran Ramen branch integrates authentic Fukuoka yatai (street food stall) culture. Not only can various periods of yatai photos be seen on the walls, but it’s also covered with posters from the Showa era. The seating area features Ichiran Yatai designs, with124seats, in addition to the58original “Flavor ConcentrationCounter” counter, totaling182seats, making it the largest Ichiran branch in the world. In addition, the Tsim Sha Tsui branch has also introduced exclusive yatai menu items such as “Tonkotsu Pork with Miso Sauce” and Japan’s highly popular “Matcha Almond Tofu,” as well as Hong Kong-exclusive offerings like “Ichiran Tea” and “Japanese Sake.”
