A ramen shop with roots in Yokohama and a soul forged in Sheffield.

Noraya was born from nearly a decade of hands-on training in Japan — from long days tending to bubbling broth pots to mastering the craft of traditional ramen making. We specialise in Yokohama Ie-Kei, a bold, soulful ramen style that blends creamy tonkotsu with rich shōyu tare and thick, chewy noodles. It’s a style rarely seen outside Japan, and we’ve brought it here — unchanged.

The name Noraya (野良家) means “the stray house” — a nod to the wandering spirit of our shop and the long journey it’s taken to find a home in Sheffield. We didn’t reinvent anything. We just wanted to bring something real — the kind of ramen you’d find in a backstreet shop in Yokohama — and do it right.

Everything here is made the way it’s meant to be: broth boiled daily, noodles aged for body, toppings prepped with care. Noraya is a place for people who crave ramen with depth, honesty, and soul. We’re proud to serve it — and even prouder to serve it here.
