Ranked at #1 in Kawasaki, Hikage is a haven for ramen enthusiasts, earning high praise across the board.
The star of the show is undoubtedly the ramen itself, a delightful and enjoyable experience characterized by its thick noodles that add a unique dimension to the dish. For those seeking a special treat, Gyuroumen is a must-try, especially when paired with rice. Opting for the darker (soy sauce) variation is recommended for a perfect complement to Gyuroumen and rice.
The flavors here are truly exceptional. The salty soup, infused with the gentle essence of dried sardines, pairs unexpectedly well with the ultra-thick, udon-like noodles, delivering a bold and unforgettable culinary experience. The noodles themselves are a triumph, boasting a delightful chewiness that truly stands out. The clear soup, equally delicious, offers a fantastic flavor profile, enhanced by the unique soft and fluffy texture of the noodles. It's an experience that's hard to resist.
What truly sets Hikage apart is the unwavering dedication to the art of ramen-making. The commitment to crafting the perfect bowl is evident in every bite. The menu also includes the Roasted Pork Noodle Soup with Rice, where the char siu's soy sauce aroma tantalizes the taste buds, and the thick, lengthy noodles offer a delightful challenge to diners, encouraging expert-level slurping.
While the Gyuroumen is a regular favorite, it's worth noting that quantities are limited, so securing a bowl is a real treat.
