Tori-paitan ramen, frozen options, and Japanese curry
"This top-tier Mile End joint focuses on tori-paitan, a silky chicken-based broth that first earned Jurapei Iwakiri praise at his former downtown bistro Schlouppe. Have it spicy, with extra pork, or, when available, even vacuum-packed and frozen — perfect for proactively stocking your freezer for the long winter ahead." - Valerie Silva
"Part of the Japan Week programming, Ramen Nakamichi is identified as the vendor serving karaage as visitors close out Montreal’s Japan Week festivities." - Valerie Silva
"Specializing in tori-paitan (chicken white broth), Nakamichi’s frozen ramen is easy to warm up any time of day — you just have to order Friday to Monday for pick-up a few days later (their instagram details how it works). Available in regular, spicy, and veggie, these might look like frozen pucks but the taste is umami-rich. Spontaneous ordering from the full (not frozen) menu for this Mile End spot is still available, too." - Ivy Lerner-Frank
"Mackay Street ramen spot Nakamichi recently morphed into a Japanese-style coffee shop — pour-over is a focus, with beans from Montreal’s Rabbit Hole Roasters; there’s also a tidy menu of bites ranging from pastries to Japanese curry." - Tim Forster
"A downtown ramen spot that closed recently, Schlouppe Bistro Nakamichi’s format and elements from its service are slated to influence the new restaurant taking over the former Thazard space." - Tim Forster
