Chef Ivan Orkin

"I discovered Kayanoya's dashi products in Tokyo and was immediately impressed by their commitment to quality and tradition. Using time-honored methods, their dashi combines bonito flakes, kelp, and shiitake mushrooms without artificial enhancers, delivering a profound, homemade-like flavor. This high-quality dashi has become a staple in my kitchen, enhancing a variety of dishes with minimal effort."

The Craft of Umami

the story

The Craft of Umami

Chef Ivan Orkin of Ivan Ramen is known worldwide for redefining ramen through creativity, precision, and a deep respect for Japanese flavor.

Trained in Japan and rooted in New York’s vibrant culinary scene, Chef Ivan brings together the discipline of ramen-making and the curiosity of a global chef. His cooking celebrates contrast—comfort and refinement, richness and restraint.

For National Ramen Day, he collaborated with Kayanoya to craft a Truffle Ramen that captures this harmony. By combining Kayanoya’s Vegetable and Mushroom Dashi with layers of shoyu tare, truffle paste, and aromatic oils, he transforms a vegetarian bowl into something deeply luxurious.

Through this collaboration, ramen becomes more than a meal—it becomes an exploration of umami, a bridge between Japanese tradition and the inventive spirit that defines Chef Ivan’s craft.
