Afuri Ramen, a popular Tokyo-based ramen brand, announced it will expand into Texas with its first location coming to the Heights.
What's special about it?
According to an Oct. 9 news release, the restaurant is rooted in authentic Japanese flavors. The menu is centered on the eatery's signature yuzo shio ramen, which is a light broth made from a reduction of local chicken, dry fish, seaweed and vegetables layered to produce a complex umami flavor.
Other standout ramen combinations include the tonkotsu shio, a tonkotsu broth soup with scallions, kikurage mushrooms, black garlic oil and thin noodles; and the zen ramen, a chicken broth soup with shio tare and garlic chips. The zen ramen is customizable with guests able to add toppings, meats and noodle substitutions.
