I always avoid going to restaurants that usually have long queues. This time at the recommendation of my hostel, I went to Ramen Taiga not knowing I had to queue for the ramen. I arrived at 6:15 pm and found there were more than 10 people lining up in front of the shop. As I was craving for ramen and did not know where to go if I did not wait, so I stayed. After about 45 minutes waiting under chilling weather, I got my seat. There are only around a dozen bar seats in the restaurant. After I sat down I got offered a tiny glass of juice which I believed was some sort of veg juice. I learned that while waiting for my ramen the juice will help to prevent your blood sugar rising quickly and the formation of fat in your body after you eat carbohydrate. What a considerate gesture. My order came quite fast as the waitress had taken my order when I was waiting outside. I had the black or squid ink miso ramen with an extra portion of pork and an egg. The pork Char Siu, which is said to be from Noto, looked pinkish and was tender without the unpleasant pork taste. The noodle was medium thick and chewy though I could not taste the flavour of wheat as the squid ink miso broth was quite dense and strong and a bit salty to my taste. The egg yolk looked a bit unusual as it was almost red in colour rather than the usual yellow or orange but the taste was normal. Overall I think it was a great bowl of ramen with quality ingredients. The downside is you have always had to wait. For an impatient person like me, I find it challenging to spend 45 minutes waiting for a bowl of ramen that I normally get it done within 15 minutes.
