Gyokusentei
restaurant
玉泉亭 本店
Birthplace of 'Sanmamen', a local Yokohama ramen topped with stir-fried bean sprouts.
Birthplace of Sanmamen, a uniquely Yokohama style of ramen that tops a soy-based broth with a generous mound of stir-fried bean sprouts, cabbage, and pork, creating a hearty, almost stew-like bowl. Founded in 1918, the restaurant has been refining its recipe for over a century, and the slightly thick, wavy noodles are perfectly calibrated to absorb the savory, vegetable-rich soup. The portions are substantial, and the simple, well-worn interior reflects a place that has never needed to rely on ambiance to draw a crowd. Located in the Isezakicho area of central Yokohama, it makes a satisfying lunch stop when exploring the city's Chinatown or waterfront.
