Miso-ga-Ichiban

Oh my god, it’s SOOOO GOOD!!! I’m not a big fan of ramen, but I’ve had friends who are, and whom would drag me around to supposedly the best places renowned for blah blah and famous for yadda yadda. To me each of those ramen excursions was a wasted opportunity to eat good yakiniku.

So when I say I would happily eat lunch here seven days a week, and go back for dinner a few nights as well, know that this isn’t meaningless praise! The soup stock here is a lot closer to a western-style beef stew than it is to the typical tonkotsu or shouyu ramen; thick, hearty, and full of flavor. The noodles are just the right amount of doughiness, and vegetables are heaped in every bowl. I also like that you get two different cuts of pork in every bowl.

Foreigners and tourists, they don’t speak a word of English here, and don’t have an English menu; but the staff are all friendly, patient, and willing to help. If you want ramen that’s more than a glorified convenience store snack, you owe it to yourself to visit Miso Ga Ichiban!
