Ramen Nobu

Welcome to Ramen Nobu, located at Earlville, Mulgrave Road, 537 in Australia. As an establishment, food, point of interest, and restaurant, we are dedicated to providing safe and authentic ramen to people of all ages. At Ramen Nobu, we pride ourselves on using NO MSG in our dishes, ensuring that our ramen is not only delicious but also healthy.

Our commitment to quality is evident in our carefully crafted soups, made with meticulously selected ingredients. We have also perfected a secret seasoning source through extensive trial and error, which adds a unique and flavorful twist to our ramen. Our specialty ramen dishes are a fusion of this exquisite soup and our secret seasoning, offering a truly exceptional dining experience.

Ramen Nobu was born out of our passion to introduce the vibrant ramen culture to the people of Cairns. Through our authentic ramen range, we aim to showcase the diverse flavors and styles of this beloved Japanese dish. Our menu features a variety of ramen options, including:

- Shoyu Ramen Tokyo Style: The original Japanese ramen, bursting with the rich umami flavors of soy sauce.

- Tonkotsu Ramen Fukuoka Style: A popular dish in Australia, this ramen is made with a creamy and savory pork broth.

- TanTan Ramen Japanese Style: Developed independently from the original Chinese style, our TanTan ramen combines the heat of chili oil and the richness of sesame paste for a truly satisfying bowl.

We are constantly striving to improve our taste and develop new dishes, with the goal of introducing a wide range of ramen from all over Japan in our unique style.

The history of ramen dates back to the Meiji Era, when the first ramen was imported from China. However, it wasn't until 1910 that Japanese ramen as we know it today started to gain popularity. Kan'ichi Ozaki, a retired customs officer, opened a Chinese restaurant in Tokyo and introduced Shoyu Ramen at an affordable price. This marked the beginning of the ramen boom in Japan.

Tonkotsu Ramen, known for its pork broth base, originated from a chef's mistake in 1947. The soup was accidentally cooked with intense heat, resulting in a creamy and white broth. Recognizing its unique flavor, the chef decided to serve it as Tonkotsu Ramen, which has since become a specialty of Kyushu, a region in western Japan.

Tan Tan Ramen, on the other hand, has its roots in Sichuan, China. It was brought to Japan by renowned chef Chen Jianmin, who adapted the dish to suit Japanese taste buds by incorporating chili oil and sesame paste in the soup. After World War II, when Japan faced economic hardship, ramen gained popularity in black markets due to its affordability. This led to the development of various regional ramen styles across Japan, each showcasing local ingredients and flavors.

At Ramen Nobu, we are proud to be a part of this rich history and tradition. We invite you to join us on a culinary journey through the flavors of Japan, as we continue to innovate and bring you the best ramen experience in Cairns.
