Chef Irie, guided by the belief that he wants to take responsibility for everything people eat, pays special attention to the ingredients and seasonings used in his "Ramen Kaiseki" at GENEI.WAGAN. He avoids the use of chemical seasonings and additives entirely. For the soy sauce that forms the base of all dishes, he employs a luxurious soy sauce made with premium ingredients such as dried shrimp, dried scallops, dried abalone, and Rausu kelp. Even when it comes to the noodles, he conducts research to develop a unique water-to-flour ratio and goes so far as to have a custom noodle-making machine. This level of dedication is reflected in the quality and flavor of the cuisine.
