Named for the god of the kitchen.
Good luck, wealth, and a good harvest.
In Japan, there are eight million gods, and among them are the Seven Lucky Gods. They are said to have come from across the sea on a treasure ship, and are famous as gods who bring good luck. It is said that if you visit the Seven Lucky Gods, seven disasters will be removed and seven happinesses will come.
Daikokuten is one of them — carrying a large bag of treasure and a mallet that brings forth wealth, riding on a rice bale. He is the god of abundant harvests, prosperity in business, and good luck — and the god of the kitchen.
Our name, Daikoku, comes from this god. To bring good luck and wealth for everybody.
A fast food, refined into an art.
Ramen is a fast food that originated from China and has undergone unique changes in Japan — thin wheat flour noodles in hot soup made from animal broth, eaten with toppings such as boiled eggs and char siu.
There are regional variations across Japan, like tonkotsu Hakata ramen in Kyushu and miso ramen with fish broth in Hokkaido. Our ramen is fairly typical Japanese ramen — and we also developed a vegan ramen inspired by tantan in Tokyo.
How a bowl of Daikoku is made.
The Broth
Pork bones simmered low and slow until the broth turns rich, milky and deeply savoury — the soul of every bowl.
The Noodles
Thin wheat noodles cooked to a precise bite, ready to carry the broth from bowl to you.
The Toppings
Chashu, marinated egg, bamboo, seaweed, spring onion — each topping placed with intention.
The Bowl
Assembled hot and fast, handed across the counter while the steam still rises.
