New at Ippudo: Beef Ishiyaki Rice and Gyokai Tonkotsu Ramen

The challenge of constantly creating a delightful ramen experience continues at Ippudo... 


Ippudo introduces its newest limited edition ramen, the Gyokai Tonkotsu Ramen along with other innovative dishes. At Ippudo, innovation and creativity is a given constant, engraved at the very core of its culinary mission. And I think they've succeeded once again with a unique ramen dish for a new flavor experience...

Start with Ippudo's refreshing Lemon Spritzer (P 140), a soothing blend of freshly squeezed lemon and sparkling water topped with mint leaves, perfect when paired with Ippudo's signature Pork Buns, or the bestselling Okonomiyaki (R)...


Soft and smooth, Ippudo's Okonomiyaki (P 245) is made with Japanese flour, yam and egg topped with tender and savory chunks of chasyu with black konnyaku, drizzled with okonomiyali sauce and creamy Japanese mayo. The play on rich flavors and textures makes this dish another perfect starter to complement your ramen dining experience at Ippudo (more on Ippudo's Okonomiyaki and other side dishes, the Ippudo Ramen Sidekicks, on my previous post here). But there's even more new and flavorful surprises in store for your next visit to Ippudo...


Like a new rice dish that's comfortingly satisfying for another whole new experience. Ippudo's new Beef Ishiyaki Rice (P 495), soft and fluffy Japanese rice topped with tender stewed beef draped in yakiniku sauce and melted butter with corn, cherry tomatoes, crisp garlic chips, and French beans served in a hot stone pot. It's a rich blend of flavors all in one pot, with the vegetables adding a delectable balance to the dish.

As you pour the sweet yakiniku sauce, a sizzling sound releases a fragrant aroma. The extremely hot stone pot creates a crisp crust of rice at the bottom of the pot, adding a textural element to the comforting dish. The rich and creamy notes of butter, along with the vegetables and tender beef makes this dish another potential bestseller. 


Then, it was time to sample Ippudo's newest ramen dish. After the success of the previous limited edition variant (more on the Limited Edition Spicy Black on my previous post here), Ippudo continues to raise the bar with its latest limited edition ramen. The new limited edition Gyokai Tonkotsu Ramen (P 490), a signature blend of tonkotsu with creamy chicken broth infused with bonito and shoyu, seasoned with yuzukosyo pepper, topped with bamboo shoots, half tamago, nori, and slices of tender and savory chasyu with thick and wavy noodles. The rich broth, a delicately flavored chicken stock blended with the original tonkotsu broth, is given a whole new twist with the infusion of shoyu and smoky bonito notes for a refreshingly different take on ramen. Lighter than the traditional pork-based tonkotsu stock yet equally flavorful with the addition of shoyu and bonito, the new Gyokai Tonkotsu Ramen is refreshingly new and different. The tender chasyu completes the flavors.  


The new Gyokai Tonkotsu Ramen is Ippudo's only variant with a blend of both chicken and pork tonkotsu broth, and that alone makes this dish special. The bonito adds its own distinct yet flavorful notes, like a wave from the sea, for another unique dish consistent with Ippudo's mission of constant innovation. I've always looked forward to Ippudo's creative limited edition variants, each one promising a new flavor experience. The new Gyokai Tonkotsu Ramen is yet another flavorful example of Ippudo's constant innovation, perfectly executed. Go for a new ramen experience with the latest limited edition ramen, only at Ippudo...
