“In his quest to further promote Japan’s staple comfort food, Yamamoto-san has chosen Toronto, one of the most multi-cultural cities in the world, as his stage to discover more inspirations for his ramen from the diverse masses and abundant resources,” the statement says.

Konjiki Ramen is renowned for its full-flavoured clam, chicken and pork stock. All elements of the soup are made from scratch, including the noodles, which are created according to Yamamoto-san’s well-guarded recipe. According to an Instagram post, the noodles will be crafted fresh at the Toronto spot using a machine imported from Japan.

Canadian customers can expect to find nontraditional ramen ingredients such as truffles and porcini mushroom oil integrated in dishes, according to the statement. Tokyo sweet shop Saryo — makers of Japanese treats such as shiratama dango (sweet rice flour dumplings) and jelly-like confections called warabimochi — will be supplying the desserts.
