Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan｜Ryūmai

Unique blend of Chinese and Japanese cuisine. Feels indicative of Yokohama culture. I ordered the gyoza and tantanmen. The gyoza were hot and fresh, packed with fatty pork and flavorful green onion. The tantanmen is a Chinese take on ramen, perhaps closer to the dish's origin than the standard version. It is spicier than Japanese food normally is. But that was a welcome change to my American pallet. The broth is wonderfully nutty. Rich with a distinct sesame flavor. The fresh mung bean sprouts add a crispy, clean complement to the hand made noodles. There was a line, but it only took ~10 minutes to be seated on a Monday evening. It is hard to find though. I only found it on my second try. To do so I got out of Yokohama station at the west exit. Then went north till I reached a intersection with the canal. Look for the "Equinia" entrance next to the Family Mart. Take the stairs to the first basement.

Good food, very good value for money.
