Juicy, thick-cut wagyu full of rich flavor

The Shinjuku branch is an extension of “Halal Ramen Shinjukutei Yotsuya” (in the Yotsuya neighborhood of Tokyo) and both locations serve halal-certified ramen. However, the Shinjuku branch is more focused on enhancing the wagyu experience for ramen lovers.

They use plenty of luxurious wagyu in their ramen, which raises the cost. However, you can be sure it’s worth every yen.

One highlight at the restaurant is the “SPECIAL SET”: ramen with three generous slices of wagyu chāshū (Japan’s version of char siu), along with wagyu sushi, karaage (Japanese fried chicken), and a drink. This filling meal is perfect for fully enjoying wagyu flavors!

The ramen is available in three flavors: soy sauce, miso, and the unique spicy red flavor made with Sriracha sauce, a Thai condiment featuring chili and garlic popular in the United States and other countries. In this ramen, Japanese ingredients like bonito and shiitake are added to the broth, creating a deep, mild flavor. Yuzu koshō, a Japanese condiment made with yuzu citrus and chili pepper, brings a fresh citrus accent to the spicy Sriracha-based broth.

The wagyu chashu topping is a standout feature, with thick, tender slices of sirloin that almost melt in your mouth. With three thick slices of wagyu chashu, each portion offers more than enough to satisfy, and combined with the noodles and other ingredients, it makes for an incredibly fulfilling bowl of ramen.
