Located in Tokyo’s Ueno neighborhood, Kakashi offers a fresh take on chicken ramen, with their shoyu (soy sauce) bowl stealing the spotlight.
Ramen in Ueno - Short Walk from Ueno Station
Kakashi is just a stone's throw away from Ueno station. It's 2 stories and has plenty of space if you're traveling in a larger group.
Shoyu Ramen for the Win
While Kakashi offers several ramen options, their shoyu ramen is the true standout. The broth is bold and slightly tangy, with a blend of shoyu, shiitake mushrooms, and katsuobushi (bonito fish flakes) adding depth.
At the heart of the soup is a rich chicken base, with warm, comforting chicken flavors in every sip, enhanced by a glistening layer of chicken oil on top.
Other Ramen Options
Kakashi also offers a variety of other ramen, including shio (salt-seasoned) ramen, a richer version available in both shoyu and shio, and a spicy tantanmen.
They’re also known for their seasonal specials, such as the pictured cold Summer Ramen. It’s as refreshing as it looks—like a bowl of lemonade in ramen form.
Conclusion
Kakashi in Ueno delivers a modern twist on classic chicken ramen, with their bold shoyu bowl leading the pack. Whether you’re a fan of the traditional shoyu and shio ramen, or you’re eager to try something new like their seasonal specials, Kakashi has something for everyone.
If you’re in Tokyo and looking for a unique and satisfying ramen experience, Kakashi should be at the top of your list.
