Kia Ora!

Are you a ramen lover or curious to try authentic Japanese ramen?

Look no further than Kajiken (歌志軒) in Auckland! As a Japanese person living in Auckland, I am always on the lookout for places that offer a taste of home. Recently, I visited Kajiken and was blown away by their delicious ramen. Here’s why you should definitely check it out.

What is Ramen?

Ramen is a Japanese noodle soup that has gained worldwide popularity. It consists of Chinese-style wheat noodles served in a meat or (occasionally) fish-based broth, often flavored with soy sauce or miso, and uses toppings such as sliced pork (chashu), nori (seaweed), menma (bamboo shoots), and scallions. Each region in Japan has its own variation of ramen, making it a versatile and beloved dish.

Kajiken : A Taste of Japan in Auckland

Kajiken specializes in Mazesoba, a brothless ramen dish that is mixed thoroughly before eating. This style of ramen originated in Nagoya, Japan, and has a unique and flavorful taste that is different from the traditional ramen soup.

What to Try at Kajiken

  • Original Abura Soba: This is a must-try at Kajiken. The dish features thick, chewy noodles topped with a variety of ingredients such as minced pork, chives, seaweed, green onions, and a raw egg yolk. The rich and savory sauce that coats the noodles is absolutely delicious.

  • Homura Abura Soba : For those who enjoy a bit of heat, the Spicy Mazesoba is a fantastic option. It combines the same great ingredients with a spicy kick that enhances the overall flavor.

  • Shoyu Tonkotsu Ramen : If you prefer traditional ramen, Kajiken also offers a selection of soup-based ramen. The Shoyu Tonkotsu Ramen, with thin Noodles in Soy Sauce Pork Broth, topped with Pork Belly Chasgy, Soft Boiled Egg, Menma, Nori, and Scallion, is particularly popular.

Why You’ll Love Kajiken

  • Authentic Taste: Kajiken brings the authentic flavors of Japan to Auckland. The quality and taste of the ramen are comparable to what you would find in Japan.

  • Friendly Atmosphere: The staff at Kajiken are welcoming and provide excellent service, making your dining experience enjoyable.

Discovering a Hidden Japanese Gem in Christchurch: Authentic Taste at KINJI Japanese Restaurant

Kia Ora!If you’re in Christchurch and craving authentic Japanese cuisine, I’ve found the perfect spot for you. Nestled in the heart of the city, this hidden gem serves up some of the freshest sashimi I’ve tasted in New Zealand. The fish is incredibly fresh with generous slices, and the soy sauce? Absolutely delicious, complementing the sashimi perfectly.But what truly sets this restaurant apart is the rare offering of sukiyaki, a Japanese dish that’s hard to find here. Sukiyaki is a traditional hot pot dish where thin slices of beef are simmered in a mixture of soy sauce, sugar, and mirin. It’s typically served with vegetables, tofu, and noodles. To top it off, you can finish your meal by adding udon to the savory broth - a treat I couldn’t resist. I ended up ordering an extra serving because it was just too good to stop.And what’s a Japanese meal without some sake? They serve it in overflowing masu cups, filled right to the brim, making it almost impossible to resist another round.For dessert, the creamy and smooth creme brulee is a must. It’s reminiscent of Japanese-style pudding, which is quite difficult to find here, making it a real treat for anyone who misses the authentic flavors of home.If you can’t make a trip back to Japan anytime soon, this restaurant might just be your culinary savior.For more details and to check out their menu, visit their website at Kinji Restaurant.

Kia Ora! With the cold and wet weather setting in, it's the perfect time for a cozy movie night at home. Before settling in, I love grabbing some drinks to make the weekend even better. (I know not only me;))Recently, I found a Japanese alcohol called Hyoketsu 氷結 right here in New Zealand. The moment I found it, I was instantly transported back to cozy nights in Japanese Izakayas. Let me introduce you to this delightful drink to keep you warm and cozy during the New Zealand winter!What is HYOKETSU?HYOKETSU 氷結, meaning "frozen" in Japanese, is a ready-to-drink canned chu-hai (shochu highball). It’s a refreshing blend of shochu, sparkling water, and fruit juice, offering a delightful and easy-to-drink experience. With its bright and fruity flavors, HYOKETSU is a favorite among those looking for a light and enjoyable alcoholic beverage.Where to Buy HYOKETSU in Auckland?I usually buy it from Tokyo liquor where is next to Japan Mart city central. (Address: 26-28 Wyndham Street, Auckland)Also you can find it from Japan Mart, located in Sylvia Park and Newmarket, as well as selected Countdown and New World supermarkets.What is the Taste Like?It was vodka soda with lemon juice and 6% alcohol, I felt sweet and refreshing citrusy taste. It tasted sweeter than I remembered, making me wonder if my memories had faded or if my taste had changed over time.When to Enjoy HYOKETSU?I enjoyed Hyoketsu with Ayaka and Sachi, turning it a fun Japanese girls' party with this delightful drink! Now, let’s share a genuine perspective on HYOKETSU from three Japanese women living in New Zealand:Q: What kind of drink do you prefer when you drink?Ayaka: Red wine, full-bodied and dry, though occasionally sweet wines.Sachi: I don’t drink often, but when I do, I prefer dry red wine or beer.Mayumi: I like beers, especially Hazy IPA.Q: What kind of occasion is Hyoketsu best for you?Ayaka: Perfect for parties, not so much with meals due to its sweetness. It could go well with fried or junk food. Home parties are great because it’s easy to drink and suits various tastes.Sachi: A bit too sweet for meals. Suitable for those who don’t drink much at parties or as a snack companion. Great for a light drink at home parties or after work, like juice.Mayumi: Better for home parties or watching movies rather than with meals. Ideal for home parties or a relaxing drink after work.Are you ready to drink?Whether you’re hosting a home party, having a chill movie night, or simply winding down after a rainy weekend, HYOKETSU is a fantastic choice to refresh and relax.Its light and fruity flavors are perfect for any occasion, and it’s a great way to stay warm and enjoy a bit of Japanese culture right here in New Zealand.Try HYOKETSU next time and see why it’s a favorite among both Japanese and New Zealanders alike!Cheers!
