Ramen

Had my first ramen today. We went out to Ichiran for lunch. Apparently this is my boss' favorite ramen shop in Tokyo, and he goes there whenever he visits. They serve Hakata-style ramen with the thin noodles. I didn't get any spicy sauce with it. It was plenty tasty without it. A bit of noodle, some pork, green onions and garlic, mm delish!
Ichiran is a tiny shop with little stalls for each diner. Not exactly the place for a sociable lunch! You get tickets for the soup and any extras if you want it (like soft-boiled eggs, extra noodles, nori, etc), fill out a form with how you like your soup (how strong, how much green onion, how spicy) and take it to an open stall, sit down, and get a steaming pile of noodles a minute later.
Apparently they're open 24/7. Dangerous...
