Shugetsu from Ehime, Japan
Shugetsu Ramen traces its roots to a cozy spot called “Shuhei” in Matsuyama, Ehime Prefecture, Japan. From the beginning, it captured hearts as a local gem specializing in tsukemen—those irresistible dipping noodles—and quickly expanded to multiple locations across Japan before venturing abroad to Hong Kong, Thailand, and Slovakia.
In 2022, we made our U.S. debut with our first restaurant in San Mateo, CA, where we swiftly got tsukemen enthusiasts raving about our chewy noodles and rich, authentically crafted Japanese broths.
Today, we’ve relocated to Fremont, CA, while staying true to our origins and the timeless art of tsukemen. If you’re in the Bay Area craving premium Japanese ramen, come visit Shugetsu Fremont—we can’t wait to serve you!
Shugetsu’s Signatures
Tsukemen
Tsukemen means dipping noodles with the soup, so that the tsukemen is served with the noodles and the soup separately. Shugetsu offers the choice of noodle amount from 7oz to 18oz for the same price. While ramen noodles are enjoyed as a total combination of soup and noodles, Tsukemen was created to enjoy the noodles themselves, including flavor, texture, and chewiness.
Ramen
The tradition of Shugetsu ramen with its base broth is to use rich chicken-based broth. We flavor it even further with dried seafood like sardines and mackerel, fresh, scallop-infused oil seasoned with deep umami oil for a much more balanced mouthful, making the soup all the more decadent while also being rich and full of flavor.
Abura Soba
In Japanese, “abura” means oil, and “soba” means noodles. So “Abura Soba” literally represents the oil noodles. Abura Soba is a type of ramen without the soup and mixing all ingredients when eating. By mixing our special soy sauce, scallop flavored oil, and fish powder with our homemade noodles, you will be able to fully enjoy the flavor and texture of our noodles.
About Tsukemen
Tsukemen, a dipping noodles, is our signature dish. Approximately 70 years ago, Tsukemen was invented as a staff meal by Mr. Yamagishi who is the owner of Taishoken located in Higashi-Ikebukuro, Tokyo. Tsukemen got popular in the early 2000s and is now widely recognized as a famous ramen dish in Japan.
While the main focus of enjoying ramen is to enjoy the soup and noodles together as a whole, the focus of Tsukemen is to enjoy the taste and texture of the noodles themselves.That’s why, we, Shugetsu, make our noodles in our restaurant every day.
In making homemade noodles, we can not only control the quality, freshness and chewiness, but also add the non-preservatives in our noodles.
Also, it is important to age noodles in order to enhance the flavor of Tsukemen noodles. Our noodles are aged for at least 24 hours before serving to the customers.
Our Quality
Every serving of ramen and tsukemen begins with our relentless pursuit of the perfect ingredients. We make the noodles fresh every day, and our delectably rich broths are kept on low heat for hours to enjoy every sip, made from premium pork bones, vegetables, and flavors. And that commitment to doing everything right is evident in the bold flavors and more perfect textures that keep people coming back for more.
Shugetsu Original
Ramen Noodles
Shugetsu uses our original wheat flour for our noodles.
This wheat flour is originally used for Japanese UDON and it will make the noodle texture chewy and sticky.
Also, we created the Tsukemen and Ramen noodle recipe to have both chewiness and stickiness at the same time, which is a very important aspect of Tsukemen.
We make our noodles in restaurants every day, which enables us to have full control of quality over our noodles.
Shugetsu Original Soup
Dried Sardine and Mackerel, and Scallop powder
Dried seafood is one of the most famous ingredients to make soup in Japan.
Adding dried fish powder to our soup base made with chicken enables the flavor of our soup to multiply because chicken and fish have different types of UMAMI.
Shugetsu Promises
“NO MSG”
We don’t use MSG in our products. NO MSG is not something special we care about, but it is a minimum requirement for us.
Our founder Nakagawa believes that our noodles should be naturally safe and reliable. Although it was and is common to use MSG for ramen products, the founder Nakagawa pursued to create excellent quality ramen recipes without MSG. He noticed that MSG is not required to make delicious ramen soup as a result.
We would like to serve our Ramen and Tsukemen safely and reliably.
