Gofukun Ken Menu Highlights

Backfat Black Soy Sauce Ramen

• - Regular Size: 718 yen (tax included 790 yen)
• - Large Size: 855 yen (tax included 940 yen)

The standout dish is the Backfat Black Soy Sauce Ramen, crafted using a special soy sauce base made in Harima, with the utmost quality of domestically sourced soybeans and wheat. This naturally brewed soy sauce is aged to perfection, exuding deep umami flavors. The result is a ramen that combines a robust black soy sauce flavor with rich notes of pork, fragrant shiitake mushrooms, and a hint of delicate kelp. This unique blend creates a satisfying ramen dish that patrons won't forget.

Individual Black Fried Rice (with Soup)

• - Regular Size: 691 yen (tax included 760 yen)
• - Large Size: 873 yen (tax included 960 yen)

The Black Fried Rice is another signature dish, featuring the same top-quality soy sauce sourced from Harima and Ryutano. Perfectly cooked rice absorbs deep soy flavors and is stir-fried quickly over high heat to create a delightful aroma. Each bite offers a crave-worthy experience that stands on its own while pairing beautifully with the ramen.

In addition to these signature items, Gofukun Ken also provides a variety of meal sets, including fried chicken and gyoza. Whether enjoying a simple ramen or indulging in a hearty meal set, diners are invited to discover their favorite combinations and savor them in a welcoming atmosphere.
