food review
We get a taste of the famous chain’s new fried tonkotsu ramen, inspired by a dish served at food stalls in Hakata.
Running out of the ramen restaurant to eat its instant version seconds afterwards on the street is the kind of reporting you won’t get anywhere else.
The sweet taste of democracy in a burger that tips its hat to some Pennsylvania favourites.
Tasting history at Rairaiken, the restaurant that introduced Japan to ramen over 100 years ago.
Edible flowers appear on iced doughnuts and spectacular cold, clear jelly doughnuts for summer.
We try eight of the new Omusubi sweets that people in Japan are going crazy for right now.
All good things must come to an end, but at least this delicious beef katsu sandwich will live on in its diner’s memory!
