Why Ramen Just Tastes Better in Winter

Sydney winters aren’t harsh by most standards.
But there’s something about that crisp morning air, or stepping out of the office into the cool evening, that makes you crave something warm.

That’s where Ichi-ban Boshi comes in.

1. Noodles made fresh, every single day.

Every bowl of ramen at Ichi-ban Boshi starts with noodles made in-house, from scratch.
We’ve been doing it this way for over 20 years, and we’re not about to stop.

Unlike packaged noodles, our housemade noodles are prepared fresh daily.
The way they hold the soup, the texture when you lift them —
it’s something you can taste the difference in.

2. Soup that takes time to get right.

The soul of any ramen is its soup.
Ours is made fresh every day, with no shortcuts.

Whether it’s the deep richness of our tonkotsu, or the clean, sharp depth of our shoyu —
every broth is built to complement the noodles and toppings it’s paired with.

On a cold winter’s day, that first sip hits differently.

3. Two bowls worth trying this winter.

If you’re not sure where to start, here are two bowls we’d recommend for the colder months.

Aburi Chashu Ramen
Carefully prepared chashu, torched to order for a smoky, caramelised finish.
A bowl that delivers on every level.

Tan Tan Men
A warming kick of chilli with the deep richness of sesame.
This one gets you from the inside out.

4. Come in this winter.

Ramen is good any time of year — but there’s something about winter that makes it better.
Housemade noodles, carefully crafted broth, and toppings made with care.

Come in and warm up at Ichi-ban Boshi.
We’re at Sydney City, Bondi Junction, and Sydney Express.
