Kappa Sushi and Hajimeya: A Delicious Collaboration

Kappa Sushi, a well-known name in Japanese cuisine, is expanding its offerings with a remarkable partnership with Hajimeya, a direct descendant of the legendary Yoshimura-ya, famous for its Yokohama-style ramen. Starting from September 25, 2025, Kappa Sushi will introduce the 34th edition of its "Authentic Ramen Series," featuring the "Hajimeya Supervised Hokuriku Style Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen" among three exciting new products that promise to tantalize taste buds across the nation.

Introducing the Iconic Hajimeya

Hajimeya has built its reputation in Toyama for years, being one of the only eight direct branches allowed to share the Yoshimura-ya lineage, earning the nickname "Yoshimura-ya's Four Heavenly Kings". The collaboration comes after a long-standing relationship with the Yoshimura-ya founder, who has provided significant guidance, ensuring the authentic flavors of Hajimeya are brought to Kappa Sushi’s menu.

The essence of this ramen is encapsulated in the rich and sharp soy flavor coupled with a clean taste of pork broth, refined through dedicated soup preparation guided by the Yoshimura-ya chairman’s expertise. It is a true testament to the beloved characteristics of authentic home-style ramen, which customers can now enjoy nationwide at Kappa Sushi locations.

The Range of Ramen Offerings

The newly launched ramen series includes three distinct offerings:

1. Hajimeya Supervised Hokuriku Style Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen (¥540 including tax)
This ramen features a rich broth that perfectly complements Kappa Sushi’s thick noodles, adorned with traditional toppings such as spinach and seaweed, along with Kappa Sushi’s unique roasted pork belly.
- Topping Highlights: Specially selected domestic seaweed served individually wrapped to maintain crispness.

2. Hajimeya Supervised Hokuriku Style Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen with Amagari (¥540 including tax)
This variant stars Kappa Sushi’s original sweet ginger topping, which offers a zesty and ginger-infused flavor. It lightens the robust and punchy broth, creating a refreshing twist.

3. Hajimeya Supervised Hokuriku Style Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen Double Portion (¥590 including tax)
For those seeking a hearty meal, this bowl features double the pork belly and spinach. The richness of pork fat infuses the broth, enhancing the overall flavor profile.

Additionally, accompanying rice bowls are available:

• - Mini Shari Bowl - Negi Mayo (¥160 including tax)

This small rice bowl topped with green onions and mayo can be enhanced with leftover soup, allowing for a delicious second experience of the ramen.

• - Mini Shari Bowl - Zaku Uma Chili Oil (¥190 including tax)

Featuring green onions and chili oil, this bowl kicks up the spice factor, providing another enjoyable accompaniment to your ramen.

More Than Just Ramen

Kappa Sushi aims to create joyful dining experiences and make every visit memorable. This latest venture not only highlights their dedication to authentic ramen but also their commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction.

The collaboration with Hajimeya complements Kappa Sushi’s existing offerings, which include their famously popular "Aburi Madai Salt Ramen", marking a steadfast commitment to improving the dining experience.

The Impact of the Authentic Ramen Series

Since its inception in June 2018, the "Authentic Ramen Series" has captured the hearts of ramen lovers all over Japan, with the first release of the "Ebi Soba Ichigen" having sold over 100,000 bowls within ten days. To date, over 18 million bowls have been sold, establishing Kappa Sushi as a key player in the realm of high-quality ramen served in a conveyor belt sushi setting.
