Shōyu

On the edge of Riga’s Silent Centre, Shōyu has become a go-to for ramen lovers. The buzz of the open kitchen – where tradition meets a modern twist – blends with a cozy, Tokyo-inspired interior.

Homemade noodles and refined Japanese flavors are paired with Dzaners Lucins’ sharp, unpretentious wine list: grower bubbles, clean whites, lively rosés, and reds that match Shōyu’s bold, umami-rich dishes. A rare wine-and-ramen harmony.

Shōyu recommends: Wine: Bonnaire Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs and Domaine Arlaud ‘OKA’ Bourgogne Rouge – expressive, food-friendly, perfectly balanced. Cocktail: Smokey Almond.

Our choice: A crunchy Côtes d’Auxerre, the little brother of Chablis, by Patrick Piuze is rarely seen on these shores and would be a great match for one of the specials like Hotto ebi ramen! Or go crazy with the sake set – Shōyu boasts quite an impressive array of sakes!
