About Yokohama Iekei Ramen Yamato-ya
Striving to be the best in Iekei ramen, Yamato-ya specializes in a rich-toned pork bone soup that is devoid of any unpleasant odors, paired with a robust traditional soy sauce or a creamy salt-based broth that provides a delightful sweetness. The noodles, which are medium-thick and straight, are cooked to have a low water ratio to complement the flavorful soup perfectly.
Customization options are abundant, allowing patrons to choose their preferred noodle firmness (hard, normal, soft), taste richness (strong, regular, light), and oil level (more, normal, less). Additionally, a variety of table condiments like pepper, doubanjiang, vinegar, sesame seeds, garlic, coarsely ground chili, chopped ginger, and chili oil are provided, enabling guests to craft their perfect bowl of ramen.
Background of Yokohama Iekei Ramen Yamato-ya
Founded in 2009, Yamato-ya currently operates 16 locations in Japan and abroad, including two in Taiwan. The founder, Toshinori Wada (Chairman of AZism), was motivated by the desire to offer delicious Iekei ramen, as it was not readily available in Tokyo's Tama region.
In the years since its inception, Yamato-ya has contributed to the growth of Japanese noodle culture, showcasing the best of Iekei ramen from Tama to the world.
Enjoy the rich flavors of Yamato-ya’s signature ramen, and don’t forget that the best pairing for the flavorsome bowls is a side of rice!
