Ramen Tokyo is a great site. I link to it, though the sly fellow running it has yet to mail/comment/so much as glance in my direction. In any case, definitely worth a read if you love ramen.

p/s – Mr. Anon, if you haven’t been to Hakata Tenshin in Shimbashi for their 500-yen tonkotsu ramen, with lashings of garlic, sesame, beni shoga and spicy 高菜, you are missing out on all the joy that can be bought with a single coin.

Nice post, but I’m with Jody. I am sooo hungry now!!

Ramen Tokyo always reminds me of one of my favourite Japanese movies “Tampopo.”

It is amazing how different one bowl of ramen can be from the next.

Mark, maybe you just go to a generous restaurant because I never have a problem finishing what’s put in front of me…

Thanks for the comments folks – I’ve always liked a good bowl of ramen but now I must admit I’m a bit addicted. Hang in there Freedom, you’ll find a favorite soon enough, I’m sure.

I have been trying to get into eating but Ramen but I have as of yet developed a taste for it. I have went for a hot bowl of Ramen to top off a few drunken nights. Maybe, I can talk Billy West into suggesting a few good places.

Ramen Tokyo is a good site; I’ve been reading it for a year and a half or so, probably because he was one of the first to comment on my first Japan blog. I have to say, though, some of my favorite places in Tokyo haven’t graced the pages of Ramen Tokyo (yet?).
Maybe I just have bad taste in ramen.

Put a disclaimer at the top of this entry that says, “Don’t read this while you’re hungry.” For me, however, it’s too late–I already want ramen, but at this hour, I’ll have to wait. Boo.

I have never been able to finish the huge servings of ramen in the ramen-ya. But those salarymen have no problem slurping down all the noodles in a few minutes. Anyone else think the servings are exceptionally large?
