Dinner at 銀座八五

on 18 Feb 2024

by Ramen Adventures

中華そば 銀座八五

Hachigo in Ginza offers high-quality ramen at a low price of 850 yen. The restaurant's concept is simple: hachi (eight) go (five), with a meaty mix of chicken and duck, shellfish, ham, and chashu pork. Hachigo also offers a 3000 yen seasonal bowl, although they haven't yet produced it. The ramen is made without tare, a key ingredient in ramen, and is known for its ramen hospitality.

Incredible ramen in Tokyo @ginza_hachigou 🍜😍🇯🇵

This place has been on my list for a long time. With just 6-seats, 1-Michelin star and a tiny menu, it’s 100% worth the wait. Chef and owner Yasushi Matsumura has really created something special here. His 30 years in French cuisine most definitely makes its way into the food. Every element of the ramen from the broth, to the pork, to the noodles is so elegantly put together. I loved it. There are 2 main dishes, the classic... More

This place has been on my list for a long time. With just 6-seats, 1-Michelin star and a tiny menu, it’s 100% worth the wait. Chef and owner Yasushi Matsumura has really created something special here. His 30 years in French cuisine most definitely makes its way into the food. Every element of the ramen from the broth, to the pork, to the noodles is so elegantly put together. I loved it. There are 2 main dishes, the classic ramen and the special. The special just has the addition of a pork, foie gras and truffle dumpling inside - but let me tell you, this is the move. It’s the most juicy, meaty and flavoursome dumpling. A must order - it really took it to another level. The broth here is so complex. Made from duck and chicken bones, with the additional depth from prosciutto, scallops, shiitake, kombu and green onions. It’s clear, light and velvety smooth whilst also having a lovely mouth feel and great body to it. Rich and layered. Liquid gold. The noodles were a little soft for me but this ramen just ticks so many boxes. A perfectly gooey egg yolk and the most amazingly tender chashu pork. You feel good after having this. It’s not heavy at all. On the side, their chashu pork rice bowl. Matsumura-san may tell you to pour a few ladles of the ramen broth on to the rice - it’s delicious, but no match for the ramen itself. No need to queue anymore, online bookings are now open #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️

Ramen at Ginza Hachigō (銀座 八五)

on 09 Feb 2020

by Abram Plaut

Recommended bowl: Salt from France

The shio based soup here contains salt from France but no tare, a rare technique in ramen. The soup is a clear, golden broth of Nagoya chickens, duck, ham, shellfish, roasted mushrooms, dried tomatoes, dried shiitake mushrooms, kombu, leeks and no MSG. Noodles supplied by Asakusa Kaikaro. This is the third branch in the Katsumoto ramen group. Master Matsumura-san previously worked as the head chef of the ANA Crowne Plaza Hotel Kyoto, where he resided for 36 years.... More

He left the hotel when he was 55 years old and opened Katsumoto in Suidōbashi in March 2015. The 2nd shop, Kanda Katsumoto opened in February 2016, and this 3rd shop opened in December 2018. Known to close early when the soup runs out. Less

Lunch at Ginza Hachigo

on 03 Nov 2019

by Gerhard Huber

Excellent Shio ramen in the middle of Ginza. Light, golden broth. Noodles which come al dente and become softer in the hot broth.
Chashu has a light smokey flavour.
Long wait.
