Ramen lovers, mark your calendars. Ramenya Shima, consistently ranked among Tokyo’s top three ramen spots on Tabelog, is making its very first overseas appearance in Hong Kong this March at Sugar+, Causeway Bay’s lifestyle hub. Known for its unmatched devotion to craftsmanship and quality, the restaurant brings a slice of Shibuya to the city with limited daily servings that promise an intimate, unforgettable experience.
Since opening in 2020, Chef Hiroshi Morishima has turned Ramenya Shima into a Tokyo institution. With a focus on fresh, handcrafted noodles and soul‑warming broths, his creations have earned accolades including the Tokyo Ramen of the Year Newcomer Grand Prize and Tabelog Bronze Awards. Each bowl tells a story of precision, patience, and passion - a philosophy that now travels beyond Japan’s borders.
At the heart of the experience are three signature broths. The robust Shoyu carries layers of umami from a special soy blend, while the White Shoyu balances salt and soy, enriched with white‑truffle oil and black‑truffle paste for an aromatic depth and that added touch of luxury that Hong Kongers love. The Shio broth offers a delicate, refined taste, highlighting the natural flavours of nearly thirty premium ingredients including Japanese chicken, scallops, clams, sea‑bream head, kombu and fresh vegetables. Every sip is an utter testament to Morishima’s meticulous attention to flavour and detail.
The noodles, supple and fragrant, are crafted from a blend of five flours led by Kitahonami, a superior Hokkaido winter wheat. Free from additives or alcohol, they provide the perfect al dente bite, harmonising beautifully with the rich, layered broths. Four types of chashu, alongside handmade shrimp and pork wontons are prepared daily, adding texture and comfort to the bowl, creating a ramen experience that is as satisfying as it is precise.
The Hong Kong flagship reflects the same balance of tradition and modernity found in Tokyo. Occupying nearly 1,200 square feet, the space combines warm wood tones, intimate counter seating and subtle artistic accents. A minimalist façade framed by a traditional noren invites diners into a cosy, stylish haven for ramen, where only twenty‑four seats promise a focused, immersive experience.
“I am thrilled to bring Ramenya Shima overseas for the first time, and particularly to Hong Kong, where diners are renowned for their discerning taste and love of ramen,” says Morishima. “Causeway Bay mirrors the energy and accessibility of Tokyo. Every guest will feel the warmth and depth of our ramen, handcrafted with recipes perfected in Japan.”
Opening in March 2026, Ramenya Shima welcomes guests daily from 11:30 am to 9:30 pm. At Sugar+, Causeway Bay, it’s not just a bowl of ramen, it’s a moment of craft, tradition and comfort, now waiting for you in Hong Kong.
Saucy Says: "In a city like Hong Kong, anything less than exceptional just won’t do. That’s why Ramenya Shima fits perfectly, serving the kind of excellence we’ve come to expect. With only a handful of bowls crafted each day, every mouthful feels like a little secret, reserved for the lucky few. After eating your bowl, you'll leave with a piece of Tokyo lingering in your heart."
