About this place
A fragrant swirl of black garlic oil layered over a dense pork bone broth defines the Kuroshin Ramen at Isshin. The soup delivers a salty, robust punch that coats the thin noodles thoroughly. Resting on top are thick slices of pork chashu, braised until tender and meltingly soft with every bite.
Alongside the standard tonkotsu ramen, the menu features a deep miso tonkotsu broth and cabbage ramen topped with blanched greens that lend a gentle sweetness. Diners can customize their bowls with additions such as wood ear mushrooms, seasoned boiled eggs, and wontons, while extra servings of noodles are available as full or half portions of kaedama.
Those with larger appetites frequently pair their bowl with a side of chashu rice drizzled in a sweet-savory tare. Arranged primarily around counter seating, the shop provides an easy, low-key setting for solo lunches or a relaxed bowl after work. Crisp pan-fried gyoza, spicy leek chashu snacks, and beers round out the offering, with PayPay accepted at checkout.
