Japan-based ramen chain to close final Metro Vancouver location after 8 years
After 8 years of operation, Japan-based Ramen Takanotsume has announced the closure of its Richmond outpost ā the final Metro Vancouver location for the brand.
“We are truly grateful to everyone who has supported us over the years. From the countless bowls of ramen shared to the wonderful memories we’ve made together, thank you for being part of our journey. It has been an honour to serve you,” wrote the restaurant on Instagram.
Also known as Ramen Taka, the chain is best known for its golden and clear umami broth made from simmered pork bones, vegetables, and dried fish.
“Ramen Taka’s founder, Hideki Sasaki, created this broth based on the much-loved, Asahikawa-style ramen he ate as a child in his mother’s restaurant in Hokkaido, Japan. “Our unique noodles, made without eggs and [with] minimal water, and leaner chashu are crafted to perfectly complement the broth,” wrote Ramen Taka on its website.
It offers an assortment of different ramen, including Paitan and Spicy Miso, in addition to rice bowls, gyoza, and more.
The restaurant’s final day of operation is Sunday, Nov. 29.
“Thank you for being part of our journey. Let’s make these final days memorable!” concluded Ramen Taka’s post.
