Story summary

Ginza Kagari, a Japanese ramen shop that opened its first Australian outpost in Melbourne early this year, has gained significant attention for its signature dish. The tori paitan chicken ramen features an intensely flavorful broth made from Japanese spring water and freshly killed chickens, which earned the original Tokyo location global recognition back in 2016. This broth is so prized that Ginza Kagari ships it directly to Melbourne, making each bowl relatively expensive at a starting price of $29.

Despite its high cost, diners are willing to pay for the quality and experience offered by the restaurant. The atmosphere inside Ginza Kagari is immediately noticeable due to an overwhelming scent from its signature ramen, heavily infused with truffle oil. However, the true highlight remains the tori paitan broth, which patrons describe as silky smooth and deeply flavorful, making it a must-order item for visitors.
