Three popular chains offering frozen ramen packs for people riding the subway but thinking about noodles.
Ippudo
We’d meant to compare French tonkotsu with Japanese tonkotsu, but we couldn’t resist trying a brand new kind of ramen!
For a limited time, Ippudo is offering a “Men in Black” ramen, served in — you guessed it — black broth!
Two of the biggest names in ramen team up for this American-inspired instant noodle flavor.
Ramen lovers in Japan will have something to be excited about this Friday, October 16. Popular ramen chain Hakata Ippudo is celebrating their 30th anniversary that day and will be offering complimentary bowls of ramen at 30 select locations. That’s right, we’re talking FREE RAMEN here, and come the 16th, we know there’ll be plenty of customers waiting for their bowl of steaming pork-broth noodles!
