Umaimon Amsterdam powered by Takumi Düsseldorf | Sapporo noodles from Japan

3-10-2017

In Amsterdam opened an authentic Japanese ramen noodle bar, Umaimon Amsterdam powered by Takumi Düsseldorf. This Japanese-style noodle bar is well known in Düsseldorf and now also serves ‘Japanese soul food’, a stone’s throw from the famous Leidseplein, on the Korte Leidsedwarsstraat 51. The new hot spot for noodle lovers! The authentic Sapporo noodles are imported from Japan and ripened to 18 degrees Celsius within three days in a special noodle climate cabinet.

Sapporo noodles from a noodle climate cabinet

Yes, a real noodle climate cabinet! We had never heard of climate cabinet for noodles, and although it has been quite some years since I spend time in Tokyo on a regular basis, I have never seen them before. However I seem to have missed something, it appears that the Sapporo noodles after maturing for 3 days in this climate cabinet are carefully “loosely massaged” and cooked with precision to preserve the right elastic bite. The Sapporo noodles at Umaimon are served in a concentrated chicken broth that took 24 hours to finish and provided with various toppings. The menu list contains 12 different chicken ramen noodles. There are also two vegetarian ramen noodles based on miso soup and a variety of Japanese side dishes.

The interior features Japanese influences with wooden lace and open-bodied lampshades. An attractive business with a great view at what is going on in the kitchen. Real eye-catchers are the graphic artwork, made the by Japanese designer Takumi Ogata.

About Takumi & Umaimon

The ramen noodle bar Takumi was launched in 2007 by Japanese chef Saeki. He is a huge lover of the Sapporo noodles from Japan which he serves with a tasteful Tonkotsu broth and pork. Soon, the ramen become very popular as ‘Japanese soul food’ and more Takumi restaurants followed in Munich, Berlin, Frankfurt and Rotterdam, under supervision of the Japanese chef Okada. In 2011, the concept expanded with Umaimon, where they serve the Sapporo noodles in a chicken broth with chicken. ^Marjolein
