Did you know that there is a ramen that literally catches fire? Today we're talking about the Kogashi Ramen known as the fire ramen. Kogashi can literally mean burned or toasted, this happens because the broth of the ramen 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 contributors to cooking this new idea. Each bowl of ramen is set on fire for a while, leaving the broth very dark. Although it may look burnt, the flavor is delicious and unique. The ramen can be prepared with miso or shoyo soup.
Gogyo's restaurant is very spacious and has a great appetizer menu 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 with all his experience below:
Kogashi Ramen - On fire everywhere
The kigashi 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 completely different. One of the popular kogashi ramen in Japan is also in the city of Kyoto at a restaurant called men Baka Ichidai.
The restaurant Gogyo also seems to have opened in other locations in Kyoto and Nagoya. This idea of burning the ingredients of the dishes with a flame is not unique. We have already enjoyed this in drinks and also in some Chinese dishes. There are other flame-cooked 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 of themselves. If you know any other burnt delicacy from Japan, comment below. We appreciate the shares and comments. We recommend reading:
