Musoshin is a ramen restaurant in Roncesvalles, Toronto — the first North American outpost of a Kyoto noodle shop. House-extruded noodles, a koji-fermented vegetable broth, and a small warm room with an open kitchen.
"We didn't want another heavy tonkotsu room. The broth here is lighter — vegetables, koji, patience — and the noodles are cut fresh every morning to meet it."— THE KITCHEN, IN THEIR OWN WORDS
Rice koji, fermented in-house, is the backbone of the broth. It gives savory depth without the heavy, oily body of a long-simmered tonkotsu.
Premium flour, aged to draw out its quiet flavor, extruded fresh every morning. They're cut to match this broth — not just any broth.
Chashu, menma, eggs, sauces — prepped in the kitchen, not out of a bag. Listed in the Michelin Guide, which is a public fact, not our boast.
Chef Aoi Yoshida bakes shokupan milk bread and sweets daily in the front case. Come early if the bread matters to you.
We're walk-in only. Put your name down at the door.
Signature, vegan, or red — plus toppings if you're hungry.
Cut from the day's extrusion and cooked while your broth is ladled.
Ramen peaks in ten minutes. Check the bakery case on your way out.
