According to an article from Eater Boston, Santouka is planning to open in the Back Bay, taking over the space on Hereford Street where the Asian restaurant Men-Tei had been for just under 20 years until closing in 2014. Initially, it had looked like the eatery could be coming to the city's Financial District, though at the time it was only considered a "potential spot." Once it opens, the Back Bay location of Santouka will join another on Bow Street in Cambridge's Harvard Square, along with others in a handful of states and Canada as well as Japan and other Asian countries.
Santouka could be opening its new shop as early as May, though no specific date has been given as of yet.
The address for this new ramen place in the Back Bay is: Santouka, 66 Hereford Street, Boston, MA, 02115.The website for the chain can be found at http://santouka.co.jp/en/
