One of My favorite place in Paris ”Bistro Ramen Ryukishin Paris”
Ryuhokushin is a Ramen restaurants chain primarily based in Osaka. In Japan, their restaurants are mainly located in the Kansai region. But they have also opened oversea restaurants in Paris and London.
The restaurant is located in the Opéra district of Paris (“9ème arrondissement“) and features a terrace, so you can enjoy your Ramen both inside and outside.
Paris has a lot of Kotteri Ramen (heavy rich) to offer, but for those who don’t like this style, this is the place I highly recommend ! Indeed, the kind of soup they serve is light, but still deeply flavourful. This might be more suitable for people who don’t like or cannot eat heavy food.
Menu
I was most impressed by their soup. It comes with plenty of “umami” extracted from duck, chicken, and a wide variety of root vegetables. Then, they make it even deeper by adding some homemade sauce and oil made from mussels and other kind of shells… The result is a rather unique soup that tastes a lot like duck and chicken altogether, with a subtle seafood flavour. The soup stays very light, so you get to taste all the flavours that are combined in it, which makes it fancy and complex.
The prices may be a little higher than other Ramen restaurants in Paris. But the quality is really high and you get what you paid for. If you can afford, rather than eating a quick bowl of Ramen somewhere, I would suggest you go there and order an appetizer before slowly enjoying their Ramen.
What I had…
This is my second visit there. The first time I had their tsukemen and, this time, I ordered their chicken paitan
The Ramen I ordered was the “Ryukishin” As mentioned before, the soup was creamy, but still really light. The noodles were also nice, but the true selling point of this Ramen is its soup. Also, the Ramen came with a Duck breast Syashu which was tender and savoury. I was not used to have duck used as Syashu, but it was a nice addition. Moreover, duck breast (“magret” in French) being a staple of French cuisine, it was interesting for me to see how the chef incorporated some local elements into his Ramen.
A delicious Ramen restaurant recommended to both Japanese and people who like Japanese Ramens. Please try it if you have the opportunity.
