Morikaen, Japanese restaurant in Madrid, Spain
Morikaen is a Japanese restaurant in Madrid that specializes in preparing various types of ramen. The menu offers several broth variations with different toppings like noodles, meat, eggs, and vegetables prepared according to Japanese traditions.
The restaurant was founded to offer authentic Japanese ramen dishes in Madrid and helped expand Asian cuisine offerings in the city. This opening followed growing interest in genuine Japanese flavors beyond the Chinese or Southeast Asian options already available.
The restaurant follows Japanese dining habits where ramen serves as the main dish with pickled vegetables, eggs, and meat. Diners sit at high tables and eat quickly, right after preparation, as is customary in Japan.
The restaurant is located in a central area of Madrid and is easily accessible on foot. The place is small and informal, so visitors should expect wait times during peak hours, particularly at lunch and dinner times.
The broth is simmered for many hours to develop complex and deep flavor profiles typical of authentic Japanese ramen shops. This time-consuming process makes each pot a special preparation that you won't find in typical fast-food restaurants.
