Japanese Yuzu Ramen in Culver City--Afuri Ramen+Dumpling

📍 Afuri Ramen+Dumpling, Cupertino 🍜A popular ramen shop from Tokyo, mainly offering three types of ramen. The Yuzu Ramen features a lighter chicken broth instead of the traditional pork bone broth, available in three flavors (shio tare for salt, shoyu tare for soy sauce, and ratan for spicy); Tsukemen, the dipping noodles, come with two dipping sauces, yuzu sauce and spicy sauce; and the Sichuan-style Dan Dan noodles, notably the hazelnut Dan Dan noodles. 👉 Yuzu Shio Yuzu Salt Ramen $13 👍 A very refreshing and light ramen, with the aroma of yuzu hitting you as soon as it's served. The broth is delicious! It's not salty or greasy, reminiscent of the scent of yuzu peel wafting through the supermarket's fruit section. 👉 Yuzu Tsuyu Tsukemen Yuzu Dip Ramen $14 👍 I ended up eating it like a mixed dish, pouring the sweet sauce into the noodles for a mix, the yuzu flavor isn't as strong as in the Yuzu Shio ramen, but it has a more pronounced saltiness. The dipping noodles are thicker and more chewy, and the char siu pork is flavorful. 👉 Soft Shell Crab Bun $7 Average, the sauce has a slight spiciness. 9300 Culver Blvd Unit 117 Culver City, CA 90232 #Afuri Ramen+Dumpling#Culver City#food diary
