Raamen Kagetsuran collaborates with Hachiya for new ramen

The ramen chain Raamen Kagetsuran has announced a collaboration with the renowned Hachiya restaurant, originally based in Asahikawa, Hokkaido. While the official nationwide rollout is scheduled for October 7, 2026, some locations have already begun pre-selling the collaborative dish.

The new menu item features a creamy soup characterized by intense sweetness and umami. Although reviewers note that the flavor profile differs from the unique, signature taste of the original Hachiya ramen, it is described as a high-quality tonkotsu ramen. One recommendation for enhancing the flavor is to add butter, which increases the richness and emphasizes the sweetness of the broth.
