Tamashii Ramen, Japanese restaurant in Midtown, Oklahoma City, United States
Tamashii Ramen is a Japanese restaurant in the Midtown neighborhood of Oklahoma City, focused on traditional ramen noodle soups served with different types of broth. The menu also offers starters like gyoza and edamame alongside the main bowls.
Matthew and Wakana Sebacher opened the restaurant in 2015 with the goal of bringing authentic Japanese ramen to Oklahoma City. It was among the first places in the city to focus entirely on this style of noodle soup.
The word "tamashii" means "soul" in Japanese, and the name reflects the care put into each bowl served here. The open kitchen lets diners watch the preparation, which gives the meal a more personal and direct feel.
Arriving early is a good idea, especially on weekends when the place tends to fill up quickly. Looking at the menu online before visiting can help, since there are several broth styles and topping options to choose from.
The broths are cooked for many hours before the restaurant even opens, following methods that go back generations in Japan. That preparation time is what gives each bowl a depth of flavor that is hard to achieve any other way.
