Denver residents have a new reason to celebrate as Ramen Moment officially opens its doors at 707 Federal Blvd #8. This authentic Japanese ramen restaurant is making waves in the local food scene with its commitment to traditional preparation methods and high-quality ingredients. Owner-chef Takashi Ito has transformed the cozy space into a genuine ramen haven, where guests can watch as fresh noodles are pulled and broths simmer to perfection throughout the day.
A Taste of Tokyo in Denver
The grand opening, attended by local food enthusiasts and community leaders, showcased Ramen Moment’s dedication to authenticity. Unlike many establishments that use pre-packaged components, this new location stands out by making their noodles in-house daily and sourcing vegetables from Colorado farms. “We wanted to bring a taste of Japan to Denver without compromising on quality,” explained Ito during the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Their sustainable approach extends to their eco-friendly packaging for takeout orders and a reduced-waste kitchen operation.
From Scratch, With Purpose
Ramen Moment transports diners straight to the bustling streets of Tokyo with its meticulously crafted bowls of comfort. The restaurant’s signature Tonkotsu ramen features a rich, creamy pork bone broth that simmers for over 20 hours, creating a depth of flavor that has already earned loyal followers. Their Shoyu ramen, with its clear chicken and soy-based broth, offers a lighter yet equally satisfying alternative that showcases the kitchen’s versatility and attention to detail.
Walk In or Reserve Your Spot
Chef Ito, who trained for seven years in Fukuoka, Japan—considered the birthplace of Tonkotsu ramen—brings authentic techniques and unwavering standards to every bowl served. “Ramen isn’t just food; it’s an experience, a perfect harmony of flavors and textures,” says Ito. Early customers agree, with many praising the restaurant’s hand-crafted noodles that maintain the perfect chewiness and broths described as “transformative.” For those eager to sample these acclaimed dishes, Ramen Moment welcomes walk-ins and takes reservations at 720-879-0101, operating Tuesday through Sunday from 11 AM to 9 PM.
