No MSG · Nothing Artificial

No MSG.

We use no chemical seasonings and no preservatives.

A rich, milky bowl
packed with umami.
That flavor comes from the ingredients alone.

1

Broth

Hida beef bones, water,
and a little green onion. That is all.

The only ingredients in our broth are Hida beef bones, water, and a small amount of green onion. The umami of the beef bones, simmered slowly and carefully, forms the very foundation of our bowl.

2

Kaeshi (Seasoning Sauce Base)

Scallop adductor and
over 20 kinds of seafood.

For the kaeshi (seasoning sauce base) that defines our flavor, we generously use over 20 varieties of seafood, including scallop adductor. This creates beautifully layered depths of umami.

3

No MSG

No chemical seasonings,
and no preservatives.

We rely entirely on the natural power of our ingredients, without using any chemical seasonings (MSG) or preservatives. It is a bowl that children and international visitors alike can enjoy with complete peace of mind.

Why Hida Beef Bone?

Why
Hida beef bones?

Beef bone broth is notoriously difficult to handle because its umami is so intense. Yet we chose Hida beef bones because, when mastered, this powerful umami completely eliminates the lack of depth often found in No MSG ramen.

Deeply satisfying, yet with a clean, refreshing aftertaste. Achieving both without relying on chemical seasonings—that is the MATSURI challenge.

A bowl where you can savor Hida beef, the famous specialty of Hida Takayama,
down to the very bones.

Two Broths

Two Types of Broth

The ingredients and process are identical up to a point.
The difference in the final preparation creates two distinct flavors.
