About
Afuri is a celebrated ramen chain originating from the Mount Afuri region of Kanazawa, Japan, best known for its distinctive yuzu shio and yuzu shoyu broths — light, citrus-perfumed ramens that stand apart from heavier tonkotsu styles. The brand signed a 10-year lease in April 2025 for 1,500 square feet at 19 West 44th Street in Midtown Manhattan, with opening announced for fall 2025. Afuri makes its noodles fresh in-house, sources high-quality ingredients, and offers dumplings, sushi, rice bowls, and cocktails alongside its flagship ramen. The Williamsburg Brooklyn location, which debuted as Afuri's East Coast first in June 2024, has been met with strong reception, setting expectations high for the Midtown sister venue.
