Ebisoba Ichigen is Sapporo's celebrated sweet-shrimp-head ramen specialist, bringing its distinctive amaebi-based broth to two Hong Kong locations as a direct international branch of the Japanese parent. The rich, sweet, pink-hued ebishio broth is unlike any other ramen style in the city.

About
Ebisoba Ichigen built its reputation in Sapporo on a singular obsession: extracting maximum flavour from Hokkaido amaebi (sweet shrimp) heads to create a broth that is simultaneously rich, sweet, and oceanic. The result is a distinctive ramen style that stands apart from Hakata tonkotsu or Sapporo miso, drawing on Hokkaido's world-class seafood heritage. The official ebisoba.com website lists the two Hong Kong branches as direct international outlets, with the same recipes and supplier relationships maintained as in the Hokkaido original. The Wan Chai branch on Queen's Road East is the most accessible, while the Harbour City location serves the Tsim Sha Tsui shopping and tourist crowd. Topped with a plump, sweet shrimp and accompanied by delicate straight noodles, a bowl of ebisoba is a singular Hong Kong ramen experience.
Neighborhood & visiting

Ebisoba Ichigen sits in Wan Chai / Tsim Sha Tsui (2 branches), one of Hong Kong's neighborhoods where authentic Japanese kitchens have taken root. The house does not publish an online booking link; call ahead to secure a seat, especially on weekends. Check the posted hours before you go — traditional ramen restaurants often close between service periods.

Why it's on Washoku Guide
  • The sweet-shrimp-head broth is entirely unique in Hong Kong's ramen landscape — no other restaurant replicates this Hokkaido amaebi technique.
  • As a direct branch of the Sapporo original (not a franchise), both Hong Kong locations use the same Hokkaido recipes and sourcing as the parent restaurant.
  • Ebisoba demonstrates the full breadth of Hokkaido's seafood ramen tradition beyond the better-known miso-corn-butter styles.
