🚨 NEW Ramen Spot 🚨 Founded by ramen king Shigemi Kawahara of Ippudo, Gogyo —already established in Japan, Hong Kong and Australia—has now opened its first U.S. location in NYC. The brand is renowned for pioneering its signature ‘kogashi’ (burnt) ramen, celebrated for its smoky, umami-rich flavors. Gogyo elevates ramen by seamlessly integrating it into the realm of high-end dining. Gogyo, a Japanese term referring to the Five Elements—Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water—reflects this philosophy in both its brand concept and interior design. The space is visually stunning, with art installations anchoring the central communal table and echoing the elemental theme throughout. They’re currently in their soft opening, so the menu is limited to a ramen set featuring your choice of ramen (from six options), served with two kobachi (side dishes) and Gentile gelato—all for $38. Don’t miss: • Their signature kogashi miso ramen, featuring five miso blends charred at 572°F (300°C) to create a smoky aroma and deep, bold flavor. • Shoyu tsuke-men, a stellar rarity—chilled noodles dipped into a universe of flavor, with miso, seared pork belly chashu, and umami tamago. It’s a fantastic addition to NYC’s ramen scene. Check this place out! 📍 45 E 20th St, New York #ramen#noodles#nyc#newyork#japanesefood
