About
Ippudo Saint-Germain is the Left Bank location of the globally recognised Japanese ramen chain founded by Shigemi Kawahara in Fukuoka in 1985. The menu mirrors the brand's Paris flagship offerings — Shiromaru (classic pork broth), Akamaru (enriched with a miso and umami paste), Karaka (spicy broth), and Tori Shoyu (chicken soy) — plus house-made noodles cooked to the guest's chosen firmness. Dog-friendly terrace seating and vegetarian and vegan options make the Saint-Germain branch one of the most welcoming Japanese restaurants in the 6th arrondissement. The location on rue Grégoire de Tours draws a mix of neighbourhood residents, tourists, and Japanese visitors.
