Sokcho has so much delicious food, but for the final meal of a trip, I was really craving a warm bowl of broth. Especially after eating lots of good food the day before, is there anything better than ramen the next day? 😊 Ichiba Ramen felt a little special even before we went in. From the outside, it had the cute feel of a Japanese knickknack shop, so I wondered, “Is this really a ramen place?” But once we opened the door, it was full of that exotic feeling of being on a trip to Japan. The Japanese-inspired interior made me feel as though our meal was another scene from the trip. More than anything, I thought it was such a comfortable spot for families. Having a separate restroom inside the restaurant made getting around with a child so much easier, and they had a high chair ready too—such a welcome detail for moms dining with a baby like me. On a trip, little things like a restroom and a high chair matter more than you think, right? That thoughtfulness made this Sokcho, Gangwon favorite even more appealing. ## What did we order? ![Menu and ordering at Ichiba Ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-baby-friendly-ramen-ichiba/sokcho-baby-friendly-ramen-ichiba-05-v30ua-900.webp) ![Dishes ordered at Ichiba Ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-baby-friendly-ramen-ichiba/sokcho-baby-friendly-ramen-ichiba-06-cijea-900.webp) ![Tonkotsu ramen and butadon order](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-baby-friendly-ramen-ichiba/sokcho-baby-friendly-ramen-ichiba-07-b962h-900.webp) ![Ordered dishes at a Sokcho ramen restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-baby-friendly-ramen-ichiba/sokcho-baby-friendly-ramen-ichiba-08-m2y9y-900.webp) ![Meal dishes at Ichiba Ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-baby-friendly-ramen-ichiba/sokcho-baby-friendly-ramen-ichiba-09-mhiy8-900.webp) As you can see in the photos, we ordered tonkotsu ramen, special tonkotsu ramen, and butadon (Japanese pork rice bowl). ### Classic tonkotsu ramen with shichimi First up was the classic tonkotsu ramen that I ordered! The creamy pork broth had a deep savory richness, but it was not just heavy—it was clean and full-bodied too. I especially loved it with a light sprinkle of shichimi (Japanese seven-spice blend); that little kick was totally my taste. It felt like the travel fatigue just melted away, and I thought, “Ah, so this is why people cure a hangover with ramen.” ![Tonkotsu ramen with rich pork broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-baby-friendly-ramen-ichiba/sokcho-baby-friendly-ramen-ichiba-10-pzyje-900.webp) ![Tonkotsu ramen with shichimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-baby-friendly-ramen-ichiba/sokcho-baby-friendly-ramen-ichiba-11-2pedf-900.webp) It would be a great choice for anyone looking for breakfast in Sokcho, or for a next-day hangover meal after drinks. One spoonful of that hot pork broth makes your stomach feel so settled! 😊 ![Tonkotsu ramen as a hangover meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-baby-friendly-ramen-ichiba/sokcho-baby-friendly-ramen-ichiba-12-1viji-900.webp) ![Hot-broth ramen in Sokcho](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-baby-friendly-ramen-ichiba/sokcho-baby-friendly-ramen-ichiba-13-43z6d-900.webp) ### Special tonkotsu ramen on a wide plate The special tonkotsu ramen my husband ordered was eye-catching from the moment it arrived. It came beautifully arranged on a wide plate rather than in a typical ramen bowl, so the presentation really stood out. Anyone who enjoys taking food photos would surely be happy with this one. It is a dish that is fun to look at as well as delicious, so I would recommend it to anyone seeking great ramen in Sokcho. ![Special tonkotsu ramen on a wide plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-baby-friendly-ramen-ichiba/sokcho-baby-friendly-ramen-ichiba-14-xv9ju-900.webp) ![Special tonkotsu ramen with standout presentation](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-baby-friendly-ramen-ichiba/sokcho-baby-friendly-ramen-ichiba-15-1no3x-900.webp) ### Mini butadon for the baby We also added a mini butadon for the baby, and we were really pleased with it. There were a few too many green onions for the baby, so I picked those out before serving it, but the combination of egg, stir-fried pork, and rice made for a filling meal with protein too. When traveling, it is often hard to know what to feed a child, but here I did not have to worry about a separate menu. ![Mini butadon ordered for the baby](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-baby-friendly-ramen-ichiba/sokcho-baby-friendly-ramen-ichiba-16-13mer-900.webp) ![Mini butadon with egg and stir-fried pork](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-baby-friendly-ramen-ichiba/sokcho-baby-friendly-ramen-ichiba-17-1gkj6-900.webp) ## The finishing touch: rice in tonkotsu broth And here is another little joy at Ichiba Ramen! If you leave a Naver review, you can get a serving of plain rice. It is such a perfect match for ramen. Mixing the rice into that rich tonkotsu broth gives it a whole different charm. Saying, “Yep, I’m the person who eats ramen and then mixes rice into the broth too...,” I cleaned every last bit from my bowl 😂 ![Plain rice served with tonkotsu broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-baby-friendly-ramen-ichiba/sokcho-baby-friendly-ramen-ichiba-18-ue9s5-900.webp) ![Mixing rice into ramen broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-baby-friendly-ramen-ichiba/sokcho-baby-friendly-ramen-ichiba-19-1arik-900.webp) ![Finished meal at Ichiba Ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-baby-friendly-ramen-ichiba/sokcho-baby-friendly-ramen-ichiba-20-15v1e-900.webp) ![Dining scene at a Sokcho ramen restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-baby-friendly-ramen-ichiba/sokcho-baby-friendly-ramen-ichiba-21-6dmp3-900.webp) ![Warm-broth ramen meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-baby-friendly-ramen-ichiba/sokcho-baby-friendly-ramen-ichiba-22-nlrwv-900.webp) Famous restaurants packed with tourists are great too, but finding a hidden, local-feeling gem in Sokcho seems to make a trip even more satisfying. With warm broth, a Japanese-inspired atmosphere, and family-friendly comfort, Ichiba Ramen is somewhere I would recommend for a meal during a Sokcho trip. ![Ichiba Ramen found during a Sokcho trip](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-baby-friendly-ramen-ichiba/sokcho-baby-friendly-ramen-ichiba-23-1rjjf-900.webp) ![Family meal at Ichiba Ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-baby-friendly-ramen-ichiba/sokcho-baby-friendly-ramen-ichiba-24-1gu7d-900.webp) Ichiba Ramen is a Sokcho ramen favorite I would recommend to anyone looking for breakfast or lunch during a Sokcho trip, a ramen spot that is good for a hangover, or a family restaurant to visit with children!
