A couple came for lunch and ordered karai ramen at 9,500 won, miso ramen at 10,000 won and butadon at 4,500 won, adding two eggs, and rated the karai ramen about as spicy as mild Jin Ramen. The rich tonkotsu broth went so well with the butadon that two bowls of ramen plus one side is the order to make when two people visit Ichiba Ramen. ## Good to know - **Address**: 348 Jungang-ro, Sokcho-si, Gangwon-do - **Hours**: Daily 09:00–22:00 (last order 21:30) - **Parking**: Yeongnang Coastal Road, a 3-minute walk away - **Ordering**: Kiosk ordering with prepayment, self-pickup and self-return of dishes - **Miso ramen**: 10,000 won - **Karai ramen (spicy)**: 9,500 won - **Butadon (pork rice bowl)**: 4,500 won - **Two extra eggs**: 2,000 won - **Cider (lemon-lime soda)**: 2,000 won - **Seating**: Solo counter seats, tables for two and four, group seating, high chairs - **Other**: Reservations accepted, groups welcome, separate men's and women's restrooms *as written by the visitor on Jul 20, 2026* ## Where is Ichiba Ramen in Sokcho?

I prefer spicy ramen so I ordered the karai ramen, and my husband ordered the miso ramen. > Ramen made with broth simmered for 30 hours from fresh domestic pork bones, minimizing seasonings and processed ingredients to deliver the true flavor of ramen ## How spicy is the karai ramen at Ichiba Ramen? Ichiba Ramen's karai ramen is a tonkotsu broth with a secret spice blend added. The spice level is... about like mild Jin Ramen? (Honestly, I personally wished it were a bit spicier, haha.) ![A bowl of Ichiba Ramen's karai ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ramen-miso-karai-butadon-lunch/sokcho-ramen-miso-karai-butadon-lunch-12-4onti-900.webp) ![Spicy tonkotsu broth of the karai ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ramen-miso-karai-butadon-lunch/sokcho-ramen-miso-karai-butadon-lunch-13-1rhl9-900.webp) ![Chashu and soft-boiled egg in the karai ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ramen-miso-karai-butadon-lunch/sokcho-ramen-miso-karai-butadon-lunch-14-r2y7e-900.webp) ![Noodles and wood ear mushrooms in the karai ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ramen-miso-karai-butadon-lunch/sokcho-ramen-miso-karai-butadon-lunch-15-6y5o1-900.webp) ![Ramen noodles lifted with chopsticks](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ramen-miso-karai-butadon-lunch/sokcho-ramen-miso-karai-butadon-lunch-16-117mq-900.webp) The broth was creamy and rich with a savory flavor, and the crunchy texture of the wood ear mushrooms paired perfectly with the softness of the soft-boiled egg. The chashu was seasoned just right too, and it went even better eaten together with the noodles! ## How were the miso ramen and butadon? ![Miso ramen topped with sautéed vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ramen-miso-karai-butadon-lunch/sokcho-ramen-miso-karai-butadon-lunch-17-1selb-900.webp) The miso ramen was full of the savory flavor of vegetables and Japanese miso paste sautéed together. (It tasted exactly like what I had in Japan!) Thanks to the rich broth, my husband enjoyed it until the very last bite, and dipping the noodles into the broth was especially delicious, haha. The butadon had glossy, shiny chashu and just the right amount of rice, making it a good pairing alongside the ramen. The sweet-savory special sauce soaked evenly into the rice, and topping it with chashu and ginger together made for a great combination! ![A bite of butadon topped with chashu and ginger](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ramen-miso-karai-butadon-lunch/sokcho-ramen-miso-karai-butadon-lunch-18-9b49r-900.webp) Big bites, yum yum haha. I'd definitely recommend ordering one bowl of ramen each plus one side dish if you're going as a couple! With rich broth simmered long from pork bones and chewy noodles coming together, why not try a bowl of Japanese ramen at Ichiba Ramen for lunch during your Sokcho trip? ![Final photo wrapping up the ramen meal at Ichiba Ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ramen-miso-karai-butadon-lunch/sokcho-ramen-miso-karai-butadon-lunch-19-1i5g4-900.webp) ## Where it is - Ichiba Ramen (이찌바라멘) - 348 Jungang-ro, Sokcho-si, Gangwon-do, South Korea - 강원특별자치도 속초시 중앙로 348 이찌바라멘 - 38.219477, 128.5916841 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9D%B4%EC%B0%8C%EB%B0%94%EB%9D%BC%EB%A9%98/@38.219477,128.5916841,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@first-side-dish/sokcho-ramen-miso-karai-butadon-lunch/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
