Hidden away in a quiet corner of Amsterdam East, Fuku Ramen is chef Jakub Karczewski’s refined tribute to one of Japan’s most beloved dishes. In a modest yet characterful corner building, Jakub brings years of travel and study in Japan to life through a deep respect for craftsmanship — the shokunin spirit — and an unwavering dedication to mastering ramen.
At Fuku, every bowl is the result of patient artistry: hand-made noodles, a delicately layered broth, and thoughtful garnishes, such as Ibérico pork neck, come together in perfect harmony. The result is an elegant, soulful take on ramen that feels both deeply traditional and refreshingly personal.
The mission is simple: home-made ramen noodles, local ingredients, and juicy sake.
