Kikanbo

About Kikanbo

Kikanbo is the Melbourne outpost of a celebrated Tokyo ramen chain, specialising in Karashibi Miso Ramen — a rich, multi-layered miso broth built from pork, chicken, and seafood stocks stewed for over ten hours, then charged with proprietary 'kara' red-pepper spice and 'shibi' Sichuan-numbing oil. Diners choose their spice and numbness intensity from five levels, ranging from 'Nuki' (none) to 'Oni-mashi' (demon level). The Melbourne menu extends the Tokyo original with local additions including Meat Lover Ramen with slow-cooked BBQ pork belly, Maze Soba dry noodles, and Karaage Chicken sides.
