Located in the East Village area of downtown San Diego, BESHOCK Ramen & Sake Bar offers both traditional Japanese and Japanese-California fusion fare, appealing to both purists and those looking for a new twist on some old favorites. Taking their name from the Japanese word "bi-shoku," which means "the beauty of food," BESHOCK regularly fulfills that promise with their artfully prepared dishes made with locally sourced ingredients and a sleek and modern dining space that encourages socializing. Menu options include ramen with scratch-made broth ranging from classic tonkotsu to unique gorgonzola, sushi rolls, pork or chicken chashu bowls, salads, and shareable appetizers like ahi poke or pork buns. The full-service bar has beer (including Sapporo), wine, and cocktails, though sake is the house specialty. Whether you're new to the world of sake or already have a list of favorites, their resident "sake master" can provide recommendations to pair with your meal or suit your tastes. Happy hour happens Monday-Friday with deals on select food and drink items, and delivery is available for those days when you would rather stay in. Open for lunch and dinner, BESHOCK Ramen & Sake Bar invites you to experience Japanese dining that's as classic or contemporary as you like.
