Kara-shibi miso ramen
The story behind the bowl
Kikanbo turns spice into an interactive ritual. Guests choose both kara, the chili heat, and shibi, the numbing sansho level, inside a dark, festival-like room.
Before you go: Choose moderate levels on a first visit; the sansho sensation builds quickly.
