Indulge in the New Seasonal Sensation

Ramen enthusiasts, mark your calendars! Starting April 22, 2025, Ban-Nai, a beloved ramen chain renowned for its authentic flavors, will be offering a special limited-time dish: the Spicy Roasted Green Onion Salt Ramen. This exciting creation is set to offer a unique culinary experience that is sure to delight your taste buds.

At the heart of this delightful dish is a fragrant salt-based soup infused with the aromatic essence of roasted green onions. Adding a layer of complexity, homemade flavored chili oil made with fried garlic and onions elevates the dish, providing a mouthwatering dash of heat. Each bowl is prepared with a blend of flavors: the distinct saltiness is perfectly balanced with subtle sweetness, making for a satisfying experience.

Before serving, finely chopped green onions and sesame seeds are torched to release their flavors, combined with rich lard that carries the taste of high-quality roasted pork (chashu). The result? A steaming bowl that is not only delicious but also visually pleasing, topped with a generous amount of fresh vegetables including crispy cabbage, mizuna, and a mountain of shredded green onions and myoga, making each bite a burst of freshness.

For those looking to intensify the heat, Ban-Nai is also introducing two variations of this seasonal offering: the Blue Pepper Spicy Roasted Green Onion Salt Ramen and the Double Pork Spicy Roasted Green Onion Salt Ramen. The blue pepper option allows diners to customize their spice level, with up to five times the heat available for free! Meanwhile, the Double Pork variation features double the amount of chashu, perfect for those seeking a more filling meal.

This savory dish will be available until June 16, 2025, providing ample opportunity to stop by any of the Ban-Nai locations across Japan and indulge in these exciting flavors:

• - Iwate: Mizusawa Store
• - Nagano: Tōbu Town, Sarashina Store
• - Tokyo: Chitose-Karasuyama Store, Kyobashi Store, and many more.
