OTAKARA – The Treasure of Authentic Japanese Ramen Art

A Treasure You Can Taste

OTAKARA means “treasure” in Japanese. And that’s exactly what we aim to convey with each of our dishes: a culinary treasure rooted in old traditions, lovingly prepared and served with a modern sensibility.

A Story That Begins in the Heart

Victor Yang, the founder of OTAKARA, grew up in a family of restaurateurs. As a child, his home was filled with the aromas of broths, spices, and fresh ingredients. But it wasn’t just his family background that shaped him. From an early age, he developed a deep passion and interest in Japan – its values, its aesthetics, and above all, its cuisine.

After completing university and launching several successful restaurant concepts, Victor traveled through Japan, not as a tourist, but as a student. He immersed himself in the art of ramen-making, learned from masters, and came to understand the philosophy behind every single bowl of noodles. OTAKARA is the result of this journey and his vision to bring the authentic, pure ramen experience to Germany.

Our Philosophy: Purity, Craftsmanship, Dedication

At OTAKARA, we believe that true quality is something you can see, taste, and feel. That’s why we completely avoid artificial flavorings and taste enhancers like MSG. Our ingredients speak for themselves:

· Our ramen noodles are freshly made every day in our open show kitchen, using only premium organic wheat.

· Our broths are the heart of each dish: slowly simmered, rich in flavor, and full of nutrients.

· Our sauces, toppings, and side dishes are homemade and freshly prepared in front of our guests every day.

· We place great value on the quality of our meat and use only fresh ingredients.

This transparency builds trust and that trust is the cornerstone of everything we do.

For Body and Soul – Ramen with Responsibility

We stand for healthy nutrition, natural ingredients, and sustainability. OTAKARA is a place where care, mindfulness, and flavor come together. Our goal is not just to satisfy hunger, but to leave you feeling nourished, inspired, and truly content.
