Kokoro Bento - The Ramen Bar, Japanese restaurant in South William Street, Dublin, Ireland.
Kokoro Bento - The Ramen Bar is located on South William Street and operates with Ireland's first dedicated ramen noodle machine from Kagawa. The machine produces fresh noodles mixed with alkaline salts to achieve superior texture in the broth.
The space was created when the established Kokoro Bento sushi restaurant expanded by adding the ramen bar in its back section. This addition allowed the team to extend their menu beyond their previous sushi offerings.
The restaurant focuses on traditional Japanese ramen preparations that reflect regional flavors in broth styles. Visitors can watch the kitchen team work the noodle machine and assemble dishes with carefully chosen ingredients.
The restaurant operates with regular opening hours, closing earlier during the early week and extending hours on weekends. Visitors should expect higher demand on weekends and arrive early to avoid waiting times.
Guests can use the Japanese practice of ordering extra noodles called 'Kae-Dama' while keeping their original hot broth in the bowl. This method allows diners to extend the meal and enjoy different texture combinations.
