Experience the Authentic Taste of Yamagata's Iconic Ramen at Kappa Sushi!

Authentic Yamagata Ramen Now at Kappa Sushi

In a delightful culinary twist, Kappa Sushi, under the management of Kappa Create Co., Ltd., is set to launch an exclusive "Authentic Ramen Series" starting July 31, featuring a collaboration with the esteemed Sakaeya Honten, a ramen shop that has been beloved in Yamagata for over 90 years. This series includes three distinct cold ramen offerings, specially crafted to beat the summer heat.

A Taste of Tradition

Sakaeya Honten is renowned for pioneering the cold ramen concept, a dish that has become a summer staple in Japan. Each bowl of the "Chilled Soy Sauce Ramen" is meticulously prepared with noodles chilled in ice water and served in a refreshing broth; this signature dish showcases a rich soy sauce flavor complemented by the fragrant aroma of sesame oil. This perfect harmony of flavors not only tantalizes the taste buds but also offers a cooling respite on hot summer days.

Additionally, the menu introduces the "Tororo Chilled Soy Sauce Ramen," which features generous toppings of tororo, enhancing the umami of the broth. Another highlight is the "Chicken Chuka Ramen," which presents a unique blend of Japanese dashi flavor and Chinese noodles, setting it apart from traditional ramen and soba dishes.

Kappa Sushi ensures that diners can savor every drop of broth by offering an exciting side dish, the "Oishari with Tororo & Cucumber." This addition allows patrons to enhance their experience by mixing the leftover soup with rice, creating a refreshing finish to the meal.

Quality Ingredients and Expert Techniques

All ramen dishes in this special series reflect the deep-rooted expertise and passion of Sakaeya Honten. Each bowl is garnished with carefully selected toppings, including tender chicken thigh, sliced cucumbers, tenkasu (tempura bits), roasted sesame, and seaweed—a simple yet elegant composition that embodies summer freshness.

The "Tororo Chilled Soy Sauce Ramen," priced at 590 yen (tax included), focuses on the harmonious mix of tororo, a Japanese grated yam that enhances the mouthfeel, thereby making it easier to enjoy the noodles, while maintaining a smooth texture. Additionally, the "Chicken Chuka Ramen," also at 540 yen (tax included), contains flavorful chicken and pork, topped with green onions and sesame seeds, and can be enjoyed with a sprinkle of shichimi for an extra kick.

A Testament to Culinary Creativity

Kappa Sushi has reinvigorated its menu with the introduction of the "Authentic Ramen Series," beginning in June 2018. The initial launch, featuring the renowned "Ebi Soba Ichigen" ramen, quickly garnered attention, selling over 100,000 servings in just ten days. The series has successfully collaborated with various acclaimed ramen shops across Japan, amassing over 18 million servings and satisfying the cravings of ramen enthusiasts nationwide.

With its commitment to delivering high-quality dining experiences, Kappa Sushi aims to remain a beloved spot for patrons, continually adding excitement to every meal.

The Allure of Sakaeya Honten

Founded in 1932, Sakaeya Honten is your go-to destination for chilled ramen in Yamagata. Its inception was sparked by a desire to cater to summer patrons whose appetites dwindled in the heat. The innovative concept quickly won hearts, evolving into a culinary emblem that attracts food lovers from across Japan. The delightful blend of sesame oil-scented dashi broth and expertly chilled noodles remains a timeless favorite.
