“Masterpiece bowls are made for this very moment.”
“最高の一杯はいつも「今」作る”
At ZAO, we use no preservatives.
Every element of our ramen—noodles, broth, aromatic oils, tare, and toppings
—is prepared fresh in-house each day. From local free-range chicken and eggs to seasonal vegetables, and even rare ingredients sourced from Japan,
each bowl is crafted with uncompromising care.
Our hope is that everyone, from the youngest children to adults,
can enjoy our ramen with peace of mind and leave with a smile.
We devote ourselves to bringing out the fullest expression of each ingredient.
Depending on the season and even the day’s climate,
we adjust the richness of the broth, the hydration of the noodles,
and even the origin and ratio of the wheat we use.
We are a small ramen shop here in Bethesda, and because we stand in the
kitchen every day ourselves, our aim is not to serve something that is always the same,
but rather to offer “the very best bowl for today.”
— This is the spirit of ZAO’s Ramen.
保存料を一切使用せず、当店のラーメンは、
麺・スープ・香味油・タレ・具材のすべてを毎日自家製で仕上げています。
地元の地鶏やその卵、旬の野菜、そして日本から取り寄せた希少な食材まで、
一杯の中に惜しみなく私達のこだわりを注ぎ込みました。
小さなお子様から大人の方まで安心して
らーめんを通して笑顔になっていただきたい思いからです。
素材の旨みを最大限に引き出す工夫を重ね、
その日の気候や季節に合わせてスープ濃度の調整や麺の加水率や
小麦の産地や割合を変えています。
私たちはベセスダの小さなラーメン屋さんです。
毎日現場に立つ私たちが目指すのは、いつお越しいただいても同じよりも、
その日にしか味わえない「今日の最高の一杯」をご提供する
——それが蔵王のラーメンです。
