- Ramen Adventures added a new meal Dinner at うらしま at Urashima (うらしま)
うらしま (Urashima in Wakayama)
The style is heavy Wakayama tonkotsu shoyu. It is a on the gritty side, something you should come to expect from any bowl in this part of Japan. Open since 1976.

- Ramen Adventures added a new meal Dinner at 煮干しそば藍 at Niboshisoba Ai
煮干そば 藍 (Niboshi Soba Ai in Kyoto)
The light niboshi soba made with dried sardines from nearby Kagawa Prefecture. A simple, refreshing slurp.

金田家 (Kanadaya in Fukuoka)
This was pork perfection. The soup is buttery and smooth, without any funk. Chashu sliced so thin that it would dissolve if it wasn’t lovingly placed on the sides of the bowl. Just a touch of the standard green onion and kikurage mushroom.

はなもこし (Hanamokoshi in Fukuoka)
The master studied not only ramen noodle making, but pasta and udon. He wanted this one to resemble a dish called niku udon, udon topped with meat. The handmade noodles use local flour, and have a bit like nothing else in town.

- Ramen Adventures added a new meal Dinner at 太宰府八ちゃんラーメン at Hacchan
八ちゃん (Hacchan in Fukuoka)
Hacchan is more on the rough, gritty side of the spectrum. Unfortunately, the extra chashu option was sold out (this is a common occurrence at shops with amazing pork), so only two slices of the stuff was served as a topping.

As Uji is a bit of a slog from central Kyoto, the ramen nerds amongst us need to plan for this one. We rented a car and drove down.

Incredible uni ramen. A bowl of creamy miso soup was blended with uni and topped with uni. This was one serious uni situation. Kanazawa’s seafood market is one of the most famous in Japan, and their local sushi shops are coveted among sushi connoisseurs. So, yeah, the local product is legit.

中華そば 高安 (Takayasu in Kyoto)
Of the plethora of Kyoto-style shops in the area, I was told that Takayasu has the most delicate taste. The creamy chicken soup sure was easy to eat.

博多一双 (Hakata Isso in Fukuoka)
Isso serves a fantastic bowl. Opened by the Yamada brothers in 2012, their soup is more on the refined side. They use local fare, the soy sauce, pork, and green onions come from local makers, a sentiment that you feel most shops out here don’t adhere to. The soup is constantly moved between pots while cooking,... More

They use local fare, the soy sauce, pork, and green onions come from local makers, a sentiment that you feel most shops out here don’t adhere to. The soup is constantly moved between pots while cooking, creating what has been dubbed Ramen Cappuccino (their words, not mine).
