🇧🇷 São Paulo Ramen Alert! 🍜

This new ramen joint near Paulista, IKEMEN RAMEN, seriously reminds me of Ichiran! 👀 It has an all - open kitchen, solo dining partitions, and lets you choose noodle texture, broth saltiness, and even lists noodle thickness for each dish. Only downside? The menu’s a bit limited. Truffle Tonkotsu Magic 🤩 The truffle tonkotsu ramen is a game - changer! 😍 The insanely rich truffle flavor mixed with creamy tonkotsu broth? So good. The spicy version tastes like tomato soup (I picked level 2 spice—just a mild kick 🌶️). Spicy lovers, go straight for level 4! And the meat portions? Huge slices, and there’s more hiding under the noodles 🍖. Plus, you can customize noodle hardness—perfection for picky eaters. Side Notes: Hits & Misses 😐 The gyoza? Meh. Not as good as Aska’s. Served with Korean chili sauce, they’re just… average 🌶️. The duck soup dumplings have thin, delicate skins 👏, but the cooking wine flavor is strong (maybe to mask gaminess?). Decent, but not wow. Pro tip: Try the avocado spring rolls—they look promising 🥑. Dessert & Vibe 🍦 The matcha soft - serve is sweet and made with real milk 🥛, but the matcha flavor’s weak. Still creamy, though! This place is an introvert’s dream—private partitions mean no awkward eye contact while you slurp 😌. They also serve rice bowls and udon, plus baby bowls for small appetites (mini ramen FTW!) and free broth refills for soup lovers. Around 80 R$ per person. #BrazilSãoPaulo #JapaneseCuisine #RamenLove
