We head to Tokyo’s Toshima Ward for a new spin on stamina-style ramen.
ramen
Foodies today might be the dishes in a very different light than they did a generation ago as sushi now sits in the number-three rank.
The chain may not be called “Mister Ramen,” but that doesn’t mean they don’t know how to make a really good bowl of noodles.
Tokyo noodle joint is open 24 hours a day, but it may or may not be what you’re looking for.
New menu items and more make for the perfect place to grab a kawaii bite after shopping in a major Tokyo department store.
We also timed how quickly we could finish the hiyashi niku soba at this popular stamina pork rice bowl chain.
If you don’t get here half an hour before opening, chances are they’ll already be sold out.
Some may call it crazy to try to replace guys with cup ramen, but as we’ve always said, “Noods before dudes.”
Cup Noodle’s Nissin creates a way to elevate your ramen, but it might be more hassle than it’s worth.
