Did you know there is a ramen that literally catches fire? Today we are talking about the Kogashi Ramen known as the fire ramen. Kogashi can literally mean burned or toasted, this happens because the ramen broth is set on fire and poured over the noodles. The chef literally sets the dish on fire to create this new delicious recipe.
There are thousands of varieties of ramen in Japan, the restaurant Gogyo in Tokyo was one of the main responsible for cooking up this new idea. Each bowl of ramen is set on fire for a while, leaving the broth very dark. Although it looks burned, the flavor is delicious and unique. The ramen can be prepared with miso or shoyo soup.
The Gogyo restaurant is quite spacious and has a great menu of appetizers and delicious sake. My friend Rodrigo Coelho had the chance to visit this delicious restaurant in Roppongi, so I will share with you the video of his entire experience below:
Kogashi Ramen – Catching fire everywhere
Kogashi ramen can be found in other places in Japan. Of course, they are never the same, the ingredients, preparation methods, and the chef’s touch are totally different. One of the popular kogashi ramen in Japan is also in the city of Kyoto at a restaurant called men Baka Ichidai.
The Gogyo restaurant also seems to have opened in other locations in Kyoto and Nagoya. This idea of burning the ingredients of dishes with a flame is not unique. We have already enjoyed this in drinks and also in some Chinese dishes. There are other flaming Japanese dishes that cannot go unnoticed.
Teppanyaki, hotete, and saganaki are just a few dishes that the Japanese decided to set on fire and make a spectacle. If you know of another delicious burnt dish from Japan, comment below. We appreciate the shares and comments. We recommend reading:
