Homemade soup and handmade chijiremen noodles. Kokoro Ramen offers not just a great ramen taste, but also the spirit of Japan.
The popularity of the ramen scene in Melbourne is increasingly growing. Within this multicultural city of Melbourne, people of all nationalities enjoy eating ramen. On top of that, the kitchen staff at Kokoro Ramen are also of many nationalities, with the one wish of creating the perfect Japanese ramen.
Upon asking Mr. Tamura, the manager of Kokoro Ramen, what his dream is, he answered ‘although it may be a bit of a stretch, I want world peace. The only way to learn about cultures and customs of other countries is by coming together. I think ignorance is a sin. My dream is for people to come together and understand each other through ramen.’
He understood this through his experiences in life. He thought there was something he could with the ramen he always loved. This was the reason for getting into management at Kokoro Ramen.
A Kirin Megumi beer tap was installed last year and has had great feedback. ‘Great body, great taste!’
