Ichiban Japanese

About

This neighborhood ramen counter in Anchorage sources fresh fish regularly for sushi and sashimi while maintaining a serious approach to broth-making that justifies the wait during dinner service. The kitchen pivots seamlessly between delicate tempura, grilled yakitori skewers, and rich tonkatsu, serving the kind of straightforward Japanese food that rewards regulars who know to ask what came in that day. A modest sake selection and willingness to do omakase rounds out a menu that reflects what an independent operator can sustain in Alaska without compromising technique or ingredient quality.
