Quick take

Another visit to Ippudo, this time trying their tsukemen. A really tasty dish packed with flavor. The tonkotsu gyokai dipping broth is rich and savory, combining the pork depth Ippudo is known for with a deep seafood umami that clings to every dip of noodles. The chashu was the real highlight—absolutely spectacular, and I feel it has improved a lot since my previous visits. A great change from the Shiromaru and Akamaru, and a must-try in Barcelona.

Shiromaru Classic at Ippudo9.3/10

Ippudo

Shiromaru Classic

Another bowl at Ippudo, this time going for the classic. The broth was more pork-forward, standing out without the black garlic oil and umami paste that define the Akamaru. Same toppings (and sadly, the same absence of tamago), but still an excellent experience overall. The presence of Japanese staff adds an authentic touch that elevates the visit.

Akamaru Modern

Easily one of the best Hakata style tonkotsu bowls I’ve had in Spain—rich, powerful, and deeply satisfying, instantly transporting me back to Japan. The chashu, although sliced very thin, was still delicious and flavorful. The only real downside was the lack of tamago (at least by now). Still, the broth was absolutely sublime, and I’ll definitely be coming back for more.

Tori Shoyu Ramen

Back at Ippudo to try their chicken chintan ramen. Exceptionally flavorful, with a clean yet deeply savory broth that highlights the clarity and finesse of this style. The noodles were excellent and paired beautifully with the soup. Another refined and satisfying bowl in an impeccable setting.

Spicy Tantanmen

Another visit to Ippudo, this time trying their Spicy Tantanmen. Great news: tamago can now be added! While the egg was well-cooked and tasty, I missed the depth of a proper marinade—but it’s a welcome addition nonetheless. The broth was rich and beautifully balanced, with the right touch of spice and sesame notes that define the style. Compared to the pork-heavy Shiromaru and the garlicky Akamaru, this bowl delivers a different kind of punch—spicy, layered, and highly satisfying.

Tonkotsu Ramen

The ramen arrived quickly and in generous portions, featuring a creamy, well-balanced broth—flavorful without being overly salty. The chashu was the real highlight: tender, abundant, and full of depth. The space is bright and minimalist, and the staff were friendly and efficient. Solid choice for a classic tonkotsu bowl in Barcelona.
