This is one of my favorite Tokyo Hakata ramen bowls from Hakata Ramen Kazu in Akasaka. They’ve got the spicy mustard greens and fresh garlic press on the table, and a great chashu don. Also free kaedama (extra serving of noodles) as is the standard for this style. I used to visit this place weekly, but it’s near my old office so I’ve been missing it lately.

I know I posted toshomen last week but it was from a different place. This one I had today for lunch was from Chinkashisai, just east of Akihabara station. The chain is known for Sichuan style dishes including toshomen, tantanmen, and mabodofu, among others. I’m sure my doctor disapproved but it’s so damn good. Extra spicy, of course. Look at those glorious noodles!!!

Dinner last night at Tanaka ramen in Akihabara. It’s a light pork based shio (salt) ramen with thin, slightly flat noodles. I went with the extra chashu option. Overall, it was decent. The broth on its own was nice, but the noodle type didn’t really hold the broth or flavor. Chashu was nice and soft, so points for that. Good if you like it simple.

I’ve never seen a burger, or anything for that matter, eaten with a fork and fork!
This is mazesoba (mixing noodles) from Menya Kokoro in Ogawamachi, near Jimbocho, a great shopping area for books, guitars/musical instruments, and ski/snowboard, camping equipment etc. This is one of my favorite mazesoba which has cheese melted into the noodles, and an egg yolk to really bring it all together when you mix it up. It’s soupless and extremely rich! I’m getting hungry writing about it. A nice little pile of garlic on the right there gives it a serious flavor kick in addition to the nira and negi.

I love when I get the explanation 😄 I’ll never understand the foreigners in Japan who get upset when people try to offer them English support, spoken or orherwise. I will always welcome it. Why wouldn’t I want my life to be easier!

Hi All, I’ve been living in Japan for more than a decade and I love ramen so for now, I’m posting one of my ramen experiences every day to share it with others. Hopefully you all have a chance to try some of them!

Today’s ramen is another from Chiba that many may have heard of. Ariran ramen in Nagara Chiba has a great thin but rich oniony, garlic broth with pork and soy sauce flavors. Plenty of chopped onion included, and as usual, I often like to load on the chashu. You may need a car, or in my case, a motorcycle to get to this one which is a bit out there, but it’s a great stop on the way from Tokyo to China’s east coast.

Takeoka style ramen from Suzuya on the west coast of Chiba. This style has a dark shoyu broth made from the tare used to soak the pork chashu, which is a highlight of the bowl. The style is simple but tasty.

Mala (Spicy) Toshomen is one of my guilty pleasures. This bowl is from Toshomen Karaya in Akihabara. Toshomen features super thick noodles sliced off a block, and broth is an oily, spicy, salty goodness. At this shop you can make it gekikara or double gekikara (caution). This is one that I often repeat.

Upload working again! Woohoo.
This one is spicy tonkotsu from Nagahamaya ramen in Ueno. It was decent, but probably not a repeat for me. I added egg and Chashu, both not as soft as I would have liked. 5/10 for me.

Spicy Tonkotsu from Nagahamaya in Ueno. Not my favorite, but not bad if craving tonkotsu in the area. My fiancé get the
