"East Village and Carlsbad’s BESHOCK pulls double duty as a ramen shop and a sake bar helmed by sake master Ayaka Ito, with impressive options on both sides of the menu. The shop’s broth is made from a lighter, proprietary mix of pork, chicken and vegetables. There are chicken and soy-based ramens, as well a cheese ramen featuring Gorgonzola." - darlene-horn
"In recent years, the city has quietly become home to a number of sake experts ready to sing its praises. Chief among them is Ayaka Ito, who founded Beshock Ramen in 2016. Ito is one of fewer than 300 Kikisake-shi (the sake equivalent of a sommelier) in the U.S, and the menu at Beshock includes both a sake flight, and sake pairings for dishes like koji karaage."
"The East Village and Carlsbad locations of BESHOCK Ramen & Sake Bar are offering take-out food, saké, Japanese craft beer, and wine bottles. Order online from the East Village here and Carlsbard here." - Kelly Bone
"Kumi Ito’s complex vegan broth comes thanks to shio kogi—a fermented rice paste that add sweet funk to all it touches. Blended into soy milk and ladled over a knot of Sun Noodles, the vegan ramen is finished with cherry tomatoes, sweet peas, cauliflower, baby corn and broccoli." - Kelly Bone
"BESHOCK pulls double duty as a ramen shop and a sake bar, with impressive options on both sides of the menu thanks to sake master and owner Ayaka Ito. Her broth is made from a lighter, proprietary mix of pork, chicken and vegetables simmered for 10 hours. There are chicken and soy-based ramens, as well." - Jackie Bryant
