01 / PURPOSE
There are many good ramen shops. BYAKKO does not want to be chosen simply because it is nearby.
We want you to say, “Let’s go to Gotemba for those noodles.” Whether you live here or are travelling through, we want every bowl to make the journey worthwhile.
We search for the right noodles, match them to each soup, and adjust the cooking to the conditions of the day. That daily work is what makes BYAKKO worth the trip.
02 / FIVE NOODLES
Using one type would make preparation and stock management far easier. We choose to use five.
We consider the body of the soup, its oil, aroma and saltiness, and how well it coats the noodles. Every ramen soup and tsukemen dipping broth calls for a different match.
Noodles do more than carry soup. Their chew and wheat aroma are central to the bowl. Five types mean more work—and that is work we willingly take on.
The finished bowl comes before efficiency.
03 / THE SEARCH
The previous owner travelled across Japan—from Hokkaido in the north to Nagasaki in the south—to find noodles that would suit BYAKKO’s soups.
“Carefully selected” barely tells the story. The search demanded time, distance and the determination to keep looking.
What we inherited was more than the noodles themselves. We inherited a refusal to cut corners when a better bowl is possible.
Five noodle types. The answer to that journey.
04 / THE SIGNATURE
Calling them “thick” is not enough.

Rich pork & seafood broth × ultra-thick noodles

Spicy miso broth × ultra-thick noodles
Made to be chewed.
Tsukemen Kuro and Tsukemen Aka are served with ultra-thick noodles that rank among the thickest in Shizuoka.
You notice the thickness the moment you lift them with your chopsticks. Their true character comes through when you chew: powerful spring and a pronounced wheat aroma.
These noodles stand up to the rich dipping broth. They are not made to disappear in a single slurp; they are made to be enjoyed in their own right.

Cooking time is never treated as a fixed number. We adjust it for the season, temperature, humidity and the condition of the noodles that day.
Even the same noodle needs a different finish depending on the soup it will meet. A timer alone cannot tell us when the bowl is ready.
The goal is not simply to stop when the timer rings. The goal is the best possible texture at the moment the noodles meet the soup.

06 / NO SHORTCUTS
Search across Japan. Choose five types. Match each soup. Read the season, temperature and humidity. Check the noodles and adjust the cooking.
Remove any of that work and the bowl falls short of what we want it to be. Ultra-thick noodles are a result, not the whole philosophy.
Never cut the effort that completes a bowl.
