About Ippudo
Ippudo was founded in 1985 by Shigemi Kawahara in Fukuoka, the spiritual home of tonkotsu ramen. Specializing in Hakata-style ramen — a rich, milky pork-bone broth paired with thin, firm noodles — Ippudo grew from a single shop into one of the most recognized ramen brands in the world. Its 2008 opening in New York's East Village is widely credited with kicking off America's modern ramen boom.
Ippudo's two signature bowls are the Shiromaru Classic, the original tonkotsu, and the Akamaru Modern, enriched with fragrant garlic oil and a special blended miso paste. The restaurants are also known for their pork buns and a sleek, contemporary atmosphere that feels a step above the typical noodle shop. Use the map above to find your nearest Ippudo.
