Taito City, Tokyo, Japan｜Hokkaido Ramen Misokuma Okachimachi Ekimaeten

Line at the duck ramen was too long, so I thought I’d look around (I’m in Japan, ramen = unlimited options!) Found this little gem. Small and cozy, plays lo-fi with counter and booth seatings. Staff was very friendly and all the self-service items are stocked and organized. Onto the food. I ordered a meal set: hokkaido miso ramen with just chasu and fried rice, and 6-pc karaage. Karaage had a tad soy sauce taste, which is pleasant to me as I do enjoy sweet/savory fried chicken l. Ramen’s broth was just right for me in both saltiness and richness. Additionally, it wasn’t too oily and the soup was served with right temperature. Standard egg noodles and you do need to pay additional for other toppings. However, mashed/minded garlic and assorted condiments are all within your finger tips. All in all, I’d definitely recommend this over hyped places like Ichiran and Kamo to negi if the line is too long.

5 star for ramen and fruit wine!

Delicious 😋
