Hage Ramen

Torikotsu, Crispy Duck and Vegan Options: The Ramen Menu at Hage

Anyone sitting at Hage Ramen in Berlin will likely quickly realize that Japanese meticulousness is the foundation here. The noodles are imported directly from Hokkaido, and the homemade creamy Tori-Paitan broth is cooked for ten hours daily to achieve a full, deep flavor. The result lands in the bowl as Crispy Duck Ramen, Roasted Sesame Ramen, Tantan Men, Torikotsu Ramen, Miso Ramen, or Shoyu Ramen. Also particularly noteworthy is the strong vegan focus: For vegan guests, there are Tempura Ramen Vegan, Vegan Roasted Sesame Ramen, Vegan Tantan Men, Vegan Torikotsu Ramen, Vegan Miso Ramen, and Vegan Shoyu Ramen. All vegan versions use Beyond Meat as a meat alternative, combined with pak choi, spring onions, bean sprouts, corn, and kikurage mushrooms. Beyond ramen, it’s also worth taking a look at the side dishes: Popular appetizers include Edamame, Kimchi, and Wakame Salad, while Karaage, Gyoza, Chicken Katsu, and Croquettes are available as sides. To finish, the sweet rice cake filled with red bean paste, classic Japanese mochi, is recommended.

A Neighborhood Secret with a Japanese Community

Hage Ramen has been a popular restaurant in Wilmersdorf for several years. The establishment does without grand staging. The atmosphere is inviting and minimalist, focusing on authentic Japanese flavors.

If you want to extend your evening, the neighborhood also offers good options. Not far away, on Ludwigkirchstraße, is the Nomu Sake Bar, which offers upscale Japanese cuisine, an Omakase menu, and suitable sake pairings. This means Wilmersdorf, especially for fans of Japanese gastronomic culture, has long been more than just a quiet residential district.
