CONCEPT
House-Crafted Premium Hokkaido Wheat Noodles
–Exclusive 3-Wheat Blend from Hokkaido, Japan-
We make our noodles in-house using a custom blend of three premium Hokkaido wheat varieties: Haruyokoi, Kitahonami, and Yumepirika.
Our noodles are made with wheat flour, water, salt, and traditional kansui, with no added preservatives. We carefully rest and roll the dough before cutting it to the precise thickness we want, creating an exceptional chew, a silky-smooth texture, and the rich, natural aroma of Japanese wheat.
Our dedication to great noodles starts with carefully selected ingredients and continues through every step of our noodle-making process
Rich High-Pressure Tonkotsu Broth
–Deep, Naturally Developed Umami — No Added MSG–
Over 20 years ago, Chef Takashi Endo developed our signature tonkotsu broth using a high-pressure cooking technique.
By cooking carefully selected pork bones under high pressure, we draw out a deep, rich flavor and silky texture that define our signature broth.
Made with carefully selected ingredients and no added MSG, our tonkotsu broth delivers a rich, satisfying flavor with a smooth, balanced finish.
Every bowl reflects our dedication to the craft of authentic Japanese ramen.
The philosophy of Menya Ultra
– Wholesome, Honest & Crafted with Heart –
Having personally navigated food allergies, Master Chef Takashi Endo founded Menya Ultra on an unwavering principle: food should always be prepared with the same care, honesty, and devotion as a meal made for one’s own family.
We carefully select quality ingredients and prepare every dish with attention to detail, respect for tradition, and a commitment to consistency.
For us, authentic ramen is about more than rich flavor. It is an expression of craftsmanship and passion — creating a deeply satisfying bowl that brings people together.
