A traditional Japanese atmosphere at Kodawari Ramen Tsukiji.
Kodawari Ramen, located on rue Richelieu in the 1st district, is a Japanese restaurant specializing in seafood-based ramen. Upon entering, you are immediately transported to the heart of the fiery Tsukiji fish market in Tokyo thanks to its decoration faithful and a recorded soundtrack of the Market. From the entrance, the meticulous decorations with hanging fish and Styrofoam trays immerse customers in an experience total sensory. This establishment is ideal for those looking for a quick and tasty meal, but it is essential to arrive early to avoid a long queue (which nevertheless passes very quickly).
The comfort is minimalist, with limited space and simple stools, but that is part of the charm of the place. The service, for its part, is fast and efficient, with attentive and welcoming staff, especially at reception.
The Kodawari Ramen menu offers high quality ramen, prepared with fresh and often local ingredients. Highlights include the “sardine bomb,” a ramen with sardines and Iberian chashu, as well as refined options like wild sea bream and monkfish paitan. The noodles are made from wheat grown in the restaurant’s own fields, ensuring exceptional freshness. Reviewers praise the rich flavors and authenticity of the dishes, although some find the ramen slightly too salty.
As for the food, the ramen is good, although its price is high compared to the quality offered. The marine flavors are present, but the recipes perhaps lack an exceptional touch that would really set them apart. Nevertheless, for lovers of ramen and Japanese atmosphere, Kodawari Ramen remains an experience not to be missed.
