Ramen Takanotsume is permanently closing its Vancouver location

Ramen Takanotsume has announced it will be closing its Vancouver location by the end of the month.

Citing the ongoing pandemic as the reason for shuttering, the Bidwell Street location was the Hokkaido, Japan-based brand’s first international location.

Ramen Takanotsume first opened this outpost in 2018. It had taken over the space from another ramen shop, Ramenman, which closed in winter 2018.

While we’ll certainly miss the West End shop, we can still get our Asahikawa ramen fix at Taka’s Richmond location.

You can find it open on the second floor of the Aberdeen Centre seven days a week.
