About
Hokusai Ramen takes its name from the great Japanese ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai, and the kitchen's commitment to craft honours that reference. The NihonJapanGiappone guide — written by and for Japan's community in Italy — specifically endorses the restaurant by noting the Japanese cook and Japan-imported ingredients. Located in the Pigneto district, Rome's up-and-coming creative neighbourhood, it draws both Japanese expatriates seeking a taste of home and Italian ramen enthusiasts in search of the real thing. The broths are long-simmered and the noodles sourced to Japanese specifications.
