Raumen Tsumu — Restaurant in Naoshima

Tomato ramen is also a good experience for those who want a bit of heat with the cooling effect of tomatoes chasing it down, following with a bite of cream croquet and a swig of beer and your tired legs from all those art explorations will suddenly find they want more art so that you’d want more food, keeping the...
