Ipponyari in Alabang promises diners to experience and enjoy all kinds of cravings for Japanese classic and offbeat items, at reasonable prices to boot!

For starters, try Ipponyari’s gyoza. It’s a well-loved version of a dumpling stuffed with ground pork, vegetables, and special seasoning that is fried to perfection. Dip it in soy sauce for an extra dose of umami goodness.

Its long-time specialty is ramen, which is freshly hand-made every day. The most popular is Nagasaki Champon, which is a tonkotsu-based ramen with stir-fried vegetables and seafood.

Next to ramen, try Ipponyari’s super fresh chirashi sushi. The chefs prepare these beauties using only the freshest of ingredients such as salmon, tuna, mackerel, and squid over fluffy steamed Japanese rice. Try it with a bit of wasabi or shoyu (Japanese soy sauce) to enhance the flavor.
