Ramen Tatsu-ya is the collaboration between local chefs Tatsu Aikawa and Takuya Matsumoto. After honing their crafts at notable Austin establishments such as Musashino and Second Bar + Kitchen, Tatsu worked in one of the nation’s most respected Sushi bars, Urasawa. On his return, he began working with Takuya on birthing Tatsu-ya.





“I was craving good ramen after having lived in Japan and LA. I wanted to provide that same quality and authenticity in Austin, the city I call home.” says Tatsu.





“We want to educate people on what ramen truly is. It’s the soul food of Japan. The process of broth-making can take an extremely long time in order to draw out the flavors from each ingredient.”





Following in the footsteps of their wildly popular location in North Austin at 8557 Research, the team is opening a second location of Ramen Tatsu-ya at 1234 South Lamar on Sunday, January 25 . The restaurant will be open seven days a week, from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.
