Quick Hits: Ramen Fans, Rejoice! Get Your Fix of Yokohama-Style Ié-kei Ramen

E.A.K. Ramen, the first “Ié-kei” ramen just opened in New York this week. The style of “Ié-kei” ramen combines Fukuoka-style tonkotsu broth with Tokyo-style soy sauce broth, creating a distinct pork and chicken flavor that is creamy and aromatic. The noodles are straight, but thicker than those served at other ramen restaurants. The most common toppings of Ié-kei ramen are Boiled Spinach, Aji-tama (seasoned boiled egg), Chashu (braised pork), and Nori (toasted seaweed).

E.A.K. Ramen’s New York outpost is open in Greenwich Village, at 469 Sixth Avenue (West 11^th Street.). Dishes include the spicy “Oh So Hot!” ramen and vegan “V-Garden” ramen; popular side dishes include the popular Homemade Ginger Gyoza and Karaage Fried Chicken.
