About

For Nagoya-style ramen in Carlsbad, Beshock Ramen & Sake Bar brings recipes developed across more than 100 ramen houses in Japan to The Shoppes at Carlsbad on El Camino Real. Co-founded in 2016 by a certified sake sommelier whose family operates a ramen shop in Nagoya, the brand expanded from its original East Village location to Carlsbad in 2025, adding a North County outpost to the Japanese dining corridor that includes GONZO! among Carlsbad's izakaya-format restaurants. The name derives from the Japanese term bi-shoku, meaning gourmet food, and the menu centers on a house-made tonkotsu broth simmered with shio base and gyokai fish oil, topped with braised pork chashu, menma bamboo shoots, and nori. A Sake Master Certification earned in 2014 drives a curated flight program featuring junmai, daiginjo, and unfiltered varieties paired with the broth-forward bowls and local craft beer on tap from Karl Strauss Brewing Company nearby. The signature Nagoya Tonkatsu Ramen uses a 12-hour pork-bone extraction process combined with proprietary shio and gyokai blends brought from the family's Nagoya kitchen, producing a collagen-dense broth that gels at room temperature.
