麺屋 極鶏 (Gokkei in Kyoto)
Yes, that is the soup. A chicken porridge. I’ve never had anything like this before. The closest I can think of is the 100% pork soup at Muttepo, but that would be like comparing apples and oranges, or in this case pork and chicken.

Over 50 years of history here, and the customer base shows it. Old-timers enjoying what they know and love sitting next to tourists like me, waiting for our bullet train back to Tokyo.

和心 (Nagomi in Mukonoso, Hyogo)
This is the 追い鰹醤油らーめん, a shoyu ramen rich with katsuo flavors. Super dark brown, with a flavor to match. If you aren’t a fan of rich, smoky fish flavors in your ramen, you’ve just wasted a couple hours of your life.

和心 (Nagomi in Mukonoso, Hyogo)
This is the 追い鰹醤油らーめん, a shoyu ramen rich with katsuo flavors. Super dark brown, with a flavor to match. If you aren’t a fan of rich, smoky fish flavors in your ramen, you’ve just wasted a couple hours of your life.
The shop’s signature kurumabu – 車麩 – is an easy way to know your bowl is from Nagomi. Those circular things on top are actually friend bread slices from Okinawa. Kind of like bits of toast, they soak up the soup the way slices of baguette do in French onion soup.

みつ葉 (Mitsuba in Nara)
What a beautiful bowl. It wasn’t as creamy as I thought it would be. They hit the soup with a hand blender just before serving to froth it up a bit. Underneath the foam is a deep shoyu soup. Amazing stuff. Rare, peppered chashu lining the bowl is their signature.

- Ramen Adventures added a new meal Dinner at ロックンビリー スーパーワン at Rockabilly Super One (ロックンビリーS1)
ロックンビリースーパーワン (Rocking Billy Super One in Amagasaki,Hyogo)
There was once a legendary shop in Tokyo. The master, Shimazaki-san, required near complete silence in his shop. Your phone rings? You’re gone. You could take a photo, but you better not take long. Some people compared him to a popular character in the American... More

There was once a legendary shop in Tokyo. The master, Shimazaki-san, required near complete silence in his shop. Your phone rings? You’re gone. You could take a photo, but you better not take long. Some people compared him to a popular character in the American TV show Seinfeld, and I could see it.
Years later and the shop moved to Hyogo. This is many ramen fan's favorite shop in the universe.

俺のラーメンあっぱれ (Ore no Ramen Appare in Kyoto)
Going to Ore No Ramen Appare (roughly translated to my ramen is awesome) is an ordeal. Driving from Kyoto (no, you won’t be taking any trains or buses here) was 40km of traffic on a hot summer day. Thirty minutes before they opened, there were 25 people in line. Significant. By the way,... More

Going to Ore No Ramen Appare (roughly translated to my ramen is awesome) is an ordeal. Driving from Kyoto (no, you won’t be taking any trains or buses here) was 40km of traffic on a hot summer day. Thirty minutes before they opened, there were 25 people in line. Significant. By the way, Ore No Ramen is only open for about three hours a day.

- Ramen Adventures added a new meal Dinner at 麺屋noroma at Menya NOROMA (麺屋NOROMA)
NOROMA in Nara
The debate rages on about which ramen is the best in Nara Prefecture. Some people opt for Mitsuba, with their mega-creamy soup and long lines. The rest say NOROMA. Presonally, I can’t decide.

貧瞋癡 (Tonjinchi in Toyama Prefecture)
Tonjinchi is a tough-to-reach shop in Himi City (氷見市) at the end of the Himi Line in Toyama Prefecture. This line runs about once an hour, making it a real pain to get to. Once you arrive, you can expect lines of up to three hours to get a bowl of their niboshi ramen. Tonjinchi is on the infamous Tabelog Top 100 list, as they should be. This one is worth it for any real ramen nerd with a dedication to the hunt.

- Ramen Adventures added a new meal Dinner at らーめん鱗 西中島店 at Ramen Uroko Nishi Nakajima Ten (らーめん鱗)
らーめん鱗 西中島店 (Uroko in Osaka)
Uroko is all about shio. This shop is relatively new, and an offshoot of あす流 (Asuryu), another popular shop in Osaka. And while most shio is considered light and delicate, Uroko goes full-Osaka on this one. This shop is a long running best-of shop, debuting on the old school Tabelog Top 50 list,... More

And while most shio is considered light and delicate, Uroko goes full-Osaka on this one. This shop is a long running best-of shop, debuting on the old school Tabelog Top 50 list, well before the current 400 shops of the hyakumeiten.
