About
Muku has earned cult status in Frankfurt and beyond, with reviewers declaring it the best ramen in Europe. The restaurant's signature SORM format—Sake, Otsumami (tapas), Ramen, Muku—guides diners through an adult izakaya experience where natural wines and Japanese sake are paired with a rotating selection of seasonal small plates before a deeply flavoured ramen brings the evening to a close. The lunch service is no-reservation, and queuing early is advised. The connection to Muku's Japanese sister location in Hokuto, Yamanashi, reinforces its authentic Japanese roots. The kitchen's Instagram is the primary channel for updates.
