RAMEN TAKARA is not your typical Japanese restaurant, instead of featuring tempura or sushi, we put our heart and effort into our ramen and rice dishes. We even make our own noodles everyday using the finest flour, mineral water and fresh eggs. Whether you are picking up a meal on the go, having a family dinner, or enjoying a drink with your friends, this is the right place to enjoy the refreshing

and plesant dining experience. Bookings are not essential but we recommended that you make a booking in advance to avoid disappointment, especially on weekends! Menus are available on www.ramentakara.co.nz

We’ve reached our 19th anniversary. My feelings are the same as they were back then — no matter where I am, no matter the circumstances.

Nineteen years filled with meaningful connections. The two years I spent in Yokohama made me realise that the world feels vast, yet somehow small at the same time.

What I can do — and will continue to do — is make ramen with the same unwavering spirit alongside my precious team, and serve it with a smile.

Ramen Takara has become my ikigai — my reason for being — and a true treasure in my life. It is all thanks to your encouragement and support.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

I look forward to your continued support in the years ahead.

LOVE and PEACE, always..
Yuki Yamaguchi

19周年を迎えました。気持ちはあの時と同じです。どこにいてもどんな時も。たくさんのご縁をいただいた１９年間。世界は大きいようで小さいなと感じた横浜での２年間。わたしにできることは大切なチームと共に変わらぬ思いを乗せてラーメンを作り、笑顔と共にサーブし続けること。Ramen Takaraは私のIKIGAIとなり宝物となりました。それは皆さんの応援とサポートのおかげです。心から感謝しております。これからもよろしくお願い申し上げます。

Love and peace, always..

40 YEARS OF HISTORY IN A BOWL

Ramen Takara has its roots in a small restaurant at the foot of Mount Fuji. This is where our executive chef and owner Yuki grew up, watching her father's back in a busy ramen shop beloved by locals.

Hōchinrō opened its doors in 1978, once Nobuyuki Yamaguchi had accumulated over 15 years of experience training at a respected restaurant. With blessing from his master chef, Hōchinrō’s humble beginnings grew to be a great success, leaving a lasting legacy in the region and inspiring Yuki to follow in his footsteps.

Ramen Takara, launched in 2007, carries on the traditions of Hōchinrō while incorporating local flavours and Kiwi hospitality.

We take great care in crafting tasty, authentic dishes using locally sourced fresh, raw ingredients. We aim to provide an unique experience that all New Zealanders can enjoy.
