Kamatama Chukasoba Napoleon-ken went viral on the internet, television, and social media with its completely unique creation the Kamatama Ramen. Typically, is freshly made noodles served with a raw egg, and mixed with . Napoleon-ken has taken this dining concept and applied it to , serving up freshly made ramen noodles with a raw egg, sliced , and a deceptively delicious . A giant signboard outside the shop says "When it comes to delicious freshly-made noodles, the best way to eat it is Kamatama" (美味い麺を作ったら1番美味しい食べ方は 釜玉でした, oishii men wo tsukuttara ichiban oishii tabekata wa kamatama deshita).
There is really, nothing quite like this dish around. When you first dig into it, the taste of the freshly made noodles comes through, and the dish tastes so simple, and yet it is insanely addictive, -filled, and a much deeper taste than you first expect. There's also 12 condiments that you can mix together with your noodles to change up the taste including fried shallots, special kamatama , black fungus, vinegar, grated , grated garlic, chili oil, and extra-spicy chives. We personally highly recommend the maitake vinegar, it's an extremely unique taste that brings together the expensive fragrance of the maitake, with the sour lightness of vinegar, and it's not a vinegar that you can really find anywhere else.

Kamatama Chukasoba Napoleon-ken's Story

A relative newcomer to the ramen scene, Kamatama Chukasoba Napoleon-ken was first opened in March 2022. It is founded by Komiya Kazunori (小宮一哲) who is often coined as a ramen legend in Japan, he created the popular chain, Tsukemen Tetsu, as well as many other popular ramen shops across Japan. This shop was seen as a challenge by him, in order to create an entirely new type of ramen. The motif for the shop was to "create a type of noodle ourselves that even a ramen factory cannot produce". After creating the delicious noodle, the idea of putting it in a regular or tsukemen seemed like a waste, since the taste of the noodle would be covered up by the broth or the dipping sauce. The idea was then to develop a dish that would bring out the flavour of the noodle, and that result was the Kamatama Chukasoba.
