Long-simmered pork-bone broth ramen at one of the city's longest-running Japanese kitchens. Editor history on TableJourney with where to eat it and a home recipe.
Heiwa Shokudo, a longstanding downtown Asheville Japanese kitchen, sits on North Lexington Avenue. The kitchen serves tonkotsu ramen alongside omakase sushi, hot pot, hibachi and poke; the ramen is the local-cult winter order. Asheville's ramen scene grew through the 2010s with Heiwa and several pop-ups, but Heiwa remains the canonical sit-down ramen room. The cold mountain winters and the brewery-district crowd looking for something hot post-flight have kept the bowl on every dinner menu since.
