My Ramen Mistake

Posted By: modernangel76 on 30 April 2009 in Food, Japan, Ramen

Went to Kyushu Ramen in Harajuku a bit excited to try out what I saw on their website. Unfortunately I made a mistake and ordered their regular ramen instead of the 全部入り (Everything inside). The regualr Ramen was good but nothing special. I guess I’m gonna have to go back and try again.

Out for drinks in Koenji at a place that gives you free Gyouza with every Beer ordered, can’t beat a deal like that. Kinda like Rudy’s in Hells Kitchen  and their free Hot Dogs.

Had a good bowl of ramen at a little place right here in Tsutsujigaoka. Too bad it took me so long to discover it.

Spam Sushi

I don’t think I ever ate Spam in my life before coming to Japan. But Spam is relatively popular especially in Okinawan food. Couldn’t resist trying this Spam Sushi, Shhhh don’t tell anybody I liked it.

Had some Ramen and Spare ribs at this Greasy Spoon in China Town. Ramen was good though nothing special. The Spare ribs where pretty boring.

Took a little walk in Naka Meguro today to enjoy the last little bit of the Cherry Blossoms before they are all gone. The river is filled with flower petals which look like snow falling from the trees, it is quite pretty.

Also had the chance to enjoy a nice lunch outside along the river on this beautiful 72 degree spring day.

This was a very satisfying bowl of Ramen in Ebisu. I will definitely return for a round two. Good Toncotsu broth not too thin noodles and the chyashu (pork) was super tender.

I had this really good bowl of spicy Chinese noodles on the west side of Shinjuku station. Unfortunately I am still trying to figure out what it is called but I highly recomend it.
