🍜 スパイスラーメンセット + 辛さ増し ×3倍 / spice ramen set + kara mashi x3 🇯🇵 スパイスラーメン 点と線. / spice ramen ten to sen. / shimo-kitazawa, tokyo 🗓️ 07/01/2024 (@wei.oframen on ig for my ramen adventure 😚) Caved in for the set, which consists of spice ramen, a side of rice, and a cup of chai (lassi is also an option). For approximately the same price, you can get a special spice ramen instead of this set that is overloaded with toppings. I usually go for the special at most shops but I'm glad I went with this set instead this time around. As you can see, the base bowl already came with a lot of toppings. Any more than this, I feel like it would be too awkward to eat, trying to dig into the bowl and such. As for the ramen, you guessed it, it's an Indian profile curry broth. I haven't eaten lots of Indian curry but this one tasted really good. I think most of the toppings made sense and the tomato puree on the side really helped cut through the richness of the broth at the end. I went for spicy x3 but I think it was pretty tame so x5 is totally doable and the default is probably not even spicy. The medium-thick, crinkly noodles worked well here. The side of rice really consolidated that I'm a believer in curry on rice as the rice absorbs the curry flavor so much better. The chai was really smooth too as I saw it was getting carefully filtered a few times before pouring it out to a cup.

In a country that's known for been a stickler for tradition, this ramen shop breaks the boundaries while honouring the core elements of ramen. The pork is deliciously fatty and rolls of the tongue like butter, while the noodles have a satisfying spring. The broth is spiced, and this spice level can be easily changed. Best of all, similar to the company's Samurai Curry shops, other ingredients such as burdock, lotus, wood ear mushroom, peppers, and cashews are all incorporated in a delightful combination of textures. The lemon is an interesting choice that helps brighten the soup, and the egg is always cooked to the soft consistency that I enjoy. The staff are friendly, even offering my friend and I bibs (helpful to those of us who haven't mastered the ramen slurping technique), and the music and aesthetic are pleasant. This location is particularly valuable because it doesn't get too busy, since it is located in a more competitive area of Shimokita, upstairs.

Ordered the recommended special curry ramen that's ~2,000¥ and a cold chai. There are some things that work but the overall package was not good. As someone else mentioned the spices are an afterthought and barely get integrated into the broth. For a specialty ramen that's sold as 'spice ramen', it's very disappointing to see spices used like this. Clearly the spices haven't been fried in oil and blended in with the broth. There are cashew nuts added but I doubt there's any paste in the broth and instead it was just added at the end, not even fried up. I don't want to rate lower despite this since I want to see more unique takes on ramen, and I like that there are vegetarian options. The burdock and broccoli also work well, but the cabbage, red onions, and tomato don't. I appreciate that the chai was not just iced but was a full glass of chilled chai. It was okay, I wish it was a bit stronger. Ultimately I can't recommend the spice ramen especially at the price they sell in its current form. Many people probably came here through their IG advertisement and the presentation itself is Instagrammable but that's the only interesting thing about the food.

They really master the art of using spices ! Took the set at 1500¥ and it was totally worth it ! You will get : -1 flavorful curry bowl where you can pick your noodles between ramen, soba etc. (It's not spicy) -1 cup of drink, i went with a cold chai tea (milktea + spices) and it was the perfect association with the hot curry bowl -1 bowl of rice : you will have a choice between 3 bowl of rice, i went with their recommendation which were the one with nuts and it was an AMAZING SURPRISE ! It might look very simple but oh myyy ... That was good ! The rice was perfectly cooked, the nuts added some crunchy texture, it was seasoned with a magic spice that adds lots of flavor, very balanced. Staff was friendly and could speak a little bit english, aprons were available. Perfect lunch ! Thank you ! Highly recommend.

Can I give 6 stars please? This curry ramen „contraption“ blew my mind 🤯 It’s the 4th Ramen bowl I had during my 2 week trip around Japan and it was in a class of its own. Perhaps not a traditional ramen bowl, but the explosive flavour was delicious. Each element you see in the dish was very tasty. For example the broccoli was covered in something with garlic taste. I chose to add extra spice for more heat and it was still balanced (if you prefer spicy). If also chose to reduce the amount of noodles and get more veggies instead. Highly recommend! PS: if you want to pay online (eg Apple Pay) you can order online inside and scan the QR code on the machine. Otherwise the machine accepts cash.

Really great for those who want to try ramen but in a different spin! Not your traditional broth and ingredients it’s really refreshing to see the twist. It even comes with a Lemon! All the cooking blends so beautifully together and it’s spiced so well. I’m no good with spicy food so I had to ask for it to be less spicy but they were nice and very accommodating. I got the special spice ramen that comes with all the yummy veggies and the pork. Good atmosphere and very clean! I would recommend to anyone in the area. My friend took me here and she lives in the area so I knew it was going to be good!!
