[Kitakata Ramen Bannai] 'Kitakata Ramen Bannai Sakura Terasaki Store' Grand Opening on Friday, May 1, 2026

Mensyoku Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo, President & CEO: Makoto Nakahara), which operates various restaurant businesses domestically and internationally including 'Kitakata Ramen Bannai', will grand open the 'Kitakata Ramen Bannai Sakura Terasaki Store' on Friday, May 1, 2026.

'Kitakata Ramen Bannai' is a national chain that inherits the food culture of 'Bannai Shokudo' in Kitakata City, Fukushima Prefecture, known as one of the top three Kitakata ramen shops. Since its founding in 1988, it has been particular about being 'handmade' and 'freshly made,' protecting the traditional taste of the trinity of noodles, roasted pork fillet (chashu), and soup, and expanding both domestically and internationally.

The Sakura Terasaki store offers counter seats that are easy to use even for single diners, and table seats perfect for friends and families, creating a convenient interior regardless of the situation. A spacious parking lot is also available, so you can easily drop by.

With the concept of 'a taste you won't get tired of even if you eat it every day,' we offer a light yet deeply rich soup, thick flat curly noodles that are hand-kneaded before boiling to create a unique curl and good texture, and homemade melt-in-your-mouth roasted pork fillet (chashu). We serve these with the thought of 'wanting you to be full,' which we have cherished since our founding. Please enjoy the comforting taste that satisfies both body and soul at our store.

Bannai's Commitment The noodles use a uniquely blended flour with a high water content, resulting in a chewy texture. They are aged and given a unique 'curl', and by thoroughly entangling with the soup, a blissful taste spreads with every bite. The roasted pork fillet is Bannai's pride. Perfected through years of trial and error, the homemade roasted pork fillet's melting fat and juicy meat umami dissolve into the soup, and by slicing it to an exquisite thickness, it brings a rich sense of happiness and satisfaction the moment you eat it. Furthermore, the clear and rich soup is the crucial foundation that unites the noodles and roasted pork fillet. The clear soup without off-flavors, made only from pork bones, is simple yet packed with expert skill and love. Bannai's ramen is completed into the ultimate bowl through the exquisite harmony of noodles, roasted pork fillet, and soup.

Recommended Menu Roasted Pork Fillet Ramen The undisputed No.1 menu item, irresistible with a bowl full of handmade melting roasted pork fillet (chashu) piled high to hide the noodles!

Green Onion Ramen Thinly sliced green onions tossed in a special spicy sauce pair well with the soup. A popular product reverse-imported from 'Bannai Shokudo'.

Japanese-style Cold Ramen Unique to Aizu! When speaking of cold Kitakata ramen, this is it. The cold soup with bonito broth is popular.
