Try Ramen in Japan

“Then once seats were available we stepped inside and sat at a stool in our own little semi-sectioned off booth. It had its very own water dispenser and button to refill your ramen bowl, as well as a little bamboo ‘blind’ that was rolled down once your ramen was served. [...] The ramen itself was amazing. The personalised aspect of it means that you can never have a ramen that is too rich, too strong or too soggy. You can get it just as you like, and it’s not heavy or oily at all. The pepper sauce is the chilli element to it, and the broth itself had a deliciously porky, ramen-y taste. It was the best ramen I had in Japan, the country of Ramen.”

“One night walking around the dazzling lights and commotion of Shinjuku we came across a line that snaked all the way up the stairs from the basement level onto the street, and all the people in the line seemed to be locals who were waiting to get in for their dinner. Curiosities overwhelming us, we nonchalantly joined the line, the anticipation of what we were lining up for not yet revealed. But alas, once we reached the bottom of those stairs, it became clear that all the commotion and queuing was for the sake of ramen.”
