If you are a fan of all things Japanese, Yamazaki Ramen House and Grocery<\/strong> is definitely the place for you!<\/p>\n

For over 25 years<\/strong>, this humble establishment has paired a Japanese grocery with a ramen and bento house, letting you shop for pantry staples and enjoy a hot meal in one stop. Compared to its flashier neighbors along Chino Roces Avenue, Yamazaki keeps things simple and homey \u2014 and that’s exactly its charm.<\/p>\n

The restaurant has relocated to a new address within Little Tokyo<\/strong>\u00a0at 2277 Pasong Tamo St., Pio Del Pilar, Makati City<\/strong>, with entrance via Washoku Kikufuji Japanese Restaurant<\/strong>, just a few steps from its previous location.<\/p>\n

Although Japanese nationals are the main consumers, there are also Filipinos and other tourists who frequent Yamazaki to buy grocery items that are not available in regular supermarkets.<\/p>\n

Steaming bowls of ramen are definitely on top of everyone’s cravings so better try Yamazaki’s special Shoyu Ramen <\/strong>featuring freshly-cooked noodles as well as toppings of flavorful pork, nori, and vegetables. Surely it’s one of the most affordable ramen bowls out there, but the taste is top-notch.<\/p>\n
