THE BOWLS
Our signature — spicy chicken in a sesame-rich broth. Also our frozen flagship: 500g, $14 (sample), in grocery stores across North America. If you try one thing, this is it.
Slow-smoked brisket over steaming ramen broth — for people who take barbecue and ramen equally seriously.
The classic, done properly: real bone broth simmered for hours, slow-cooked pork chashu, marinated egg. No shortcuts, no powder.
Deep miso and mushrooms in our kombu-tomato-shiitake veggie broth — one of many vegan, vegetarian, and pork-free bowls.
For heat seekers — finished with pork chashu and marinated egg so the fire and the comfort arrive together.
