About
Kiyotaka Kanemaki brought a Japanese ramen specialist's discipline to Hamburg when he opened Takumi Ramen-Station, making it the city's reference address for authentic bowls. Noodles are shipped directly from Sapporo, Japan, ensuring the textural integrity that sets real ramen apart from imitations. Falstaff awarded the restaurant 93 points and cited it as a model of authentic Japanese ramen culture in Germany. The Ottensen flagship operates as a focused, casual counter-style spot — no frills, but everything in the bowl executed with the kind of attention that comes from years of ramen-specific craft. A second location in Sternschanze extends the brand across Hamburg while maintaining the same ownership philosophy.
