This Ramen's on Fire... Literally!

Ramen Nightlife Kyoto Kansai Undiscovered Japan

Elementary school students over the height of 110 centimeters can try the “Fire Ramen Challenge” and get a cute badge, provided they abide by the following conditions:

• Order a full bowl.
• Don’t cry.
• Don’t run away.

Given the reaction of grown adults to the dish, this will certainly be a challenge for younger customers!

Officially called green onion ramen, this dish contains a soy sauce-based soup made from chicken, pork, and fish. The essential ingredients creating the fiery combustion in front of customers are green onions, which sit atop the ramen, and burning oil, which the chef pours onto the dish.

While the fire that’s created is spectacular, it’s also said to slightly char the onions and the chashu pork pieces beneath, to bring out a slightly smoky flavor.

As further evidence of their commitment to catering for the needs of foreign guests, Menbakaichidai also makes Fire Ramen with a vegetable soup base for their vegetarian, vegan and Muslim customers.

Fire Ramen costs ¥1,250 (US$11.36) per bowl, and they also offer up a special “Fire Ramen Set” which contains one bowl of their signature noodles along with fried chicken, gyoza pot stickers, fried rice, and a very cool pin badge for ¥2,150.
