Gogyō

Roppongi, Akasaka & Around


Keep an eye on the open kitchen: no, that's not your dinner going up in flames but the cooking of kogashi (burnt) ramen, which this dark and stylish izakaya (Japanese pub-eatery) specialises in. It's the burnt lard that gives the broth its dark and intense flavour. Try the 'special kogashi miso-men'; there's lots of other dishes on the menu, too.
