Ippudo started as a small shop with only 10 seats at a counter in 1985 and now has locations throughout Japan and even in New York City. Ippudo is famous for its tonkotsu ramen. Very thin noodles that still have a bite to them. Other popular dishes besides the ramen include gyoza, fried rice, and rice topped with mentaiko (spicy cod roe). Ippudo has shops throughout the city.
