Ramen in the Royal Mile: Why BARIUMA is Winning Hearts in Edinburgh

When BARIUMA launched in Edinburgh, Scotland, it wasn’t just about bringing another Japanese ramen brand to Europe—it was about making a bold statement. The city of castles, cobblestones, and whisky now proudly boasts a ramen house where depth of flavor meets modern elegance.

From Hiroshima to Edinburgh: A Warm Welcome

Nestled near the University of Edinburgh and just a stroll from the Royal Mile, BARIUMA Edinburgh has quickly become a go-to comfort spot for students, locals, and tourists alike.

The moment you walk in, you’re greeted by the aroma of slow-cooked broth and sizzling chashu. The atmosphere is cozy yet contemporary, balancing traditional Japanese design with Edinburgh’s urban flair.

“As a Japanese person living in the UK, this is the real deal. It’s authentic, hearty, and makes me feel at home.”
— Japanese customer in Edinburgh

What Makes BARIUMA Edinburgh Stand Out?

• Prime Location
  Strategically situated in a vibrant, academic, and tourism-rich area, the store draws daily foot traffic from young professionals, students, and cultural explorers.
• Signature Dishes
  From the Ajitama-Uma Ramen to the rich tonkotsu base and flame-grilled chashu, every dish is carefully crafted. The handmade noodles have the perfect chew, and the broth? Deep, creamy, and full of umami.

A Diverse and Loyal Customer Base
In a multicultural city like Edinburgh, diners from around the world are united by one thing: “Good food”.

BARIUMA offers that, and more. Guests often comment on how the experience feels premium yet approachable.

“I didn’t expect to find such high-quality ramen in Scotland. BARIUMA could compete with shops in Tokyo.”
