Featured Restaurant

Karazishi Botan

At Karazishi Botan, Chef Foo Kanegae merges technique and curiosity. He reinterprets foundational ramen styles — tonkotsu, shoyu, miso — with creative boosts: mushroom umami in the Miso BOTAN-ical, a plangent shoyu-anchovy‐bonito blend in the Showa Classic, or a spicy sesame Tan-Tan Men with porcini. But he doesn’t stop at ramen: vegan “fish” dishes, signature takoyaki (and “Magic Balls”), and playful starters like matcha french fries show that Botan loves subversion. It’s ramen elevated, and everything else on the menu gets that same care.
