There is a phrase called Shime-no-Ramen (締めのラーメン) in Japan, which means to end your day, hanging out or trip with a good hot bowl of ramen. This is practiced a lot in Japan, especially among younger generations, and indeed, I am a huge fan myself. After a trip, hiking, and drinking, there is a high chance of going to ramen shop as a end of day meal.
"RAMEN ARASHI" founded by two Japanese men, has been serving authentic Japanese ramen bowls since 2017, when they opened their first location in Banff. Their ramen is loved by a large number of Canadians, and their business is thriving. After they launched their second location in Canmore in 2020, they kept growing to open their franchise shops in Victoria and Kelowna in 2022. Finally, this year in November, they have decided to open their fifth location in Calgary.
I have tried their signature ramen "Devil's Arashi". It is based on their Tonkotsu ramen which they are proudly serving with their pork broth.
Their thick soup is full of flavor with fried garlic, chili sesame oil, peanut crunch and so forth. It goes amazingly well with their thick, satisfying ramen noodles. The spiciness of the ramen never gets us bored until the last drip of the soup.
It is usually full of people.
There is always a line of people here, but you will see it is worth waiting.
If you ever have a chance to spend a day in Banff area, I highly recommend you to try their ramen! However, Banff location is a little tricky, since it is in the 2nd floor of a building. But once you tried their ramen, you'll never forget it!
They do to-go menu as well! You can check it from their website below.
