なかとら食堂 (Nakatora in Gifu)

なかとら食堂


Lunch at Yanagiya. What a treat. You can read about this shop here. By the way, I post non-ramen over on my Instagram.



I was with some serious foodies, and we had plans for snow-aged beef that night. With time to kill, we hit up a local shokudo; a casual dining restaurant.


The menu is all over the place. Fried fish, pork cutlets, cheese-stuffed fishcakes, and of course, ramen. Everything on offer is less than 500 yen.


At a few hundred yen, this one is pure cost-performance comfort.


I can't throw heaps of praise at it, but this smoky, local's shop was a perfect spot to spend an hour relaxing.


They even let us park our motorcycles out front.

Mochi Ramen Bar in Vienna, Austria

Image
Mochi Ramen Bar Mochi Ramen Bar came recommended by a few people, so when I visited Vienna I had to give it a try. The menu is all over the place, with shio, shoyu, and miso all represented. The tonkotsu ramen sounded like something I should try, though in hindsight I should have read the ingredients list. I assumed normal tonkotsu. Never assume, even when you are in Japan. Foreigners tend to love miso ramen with corn and butter toppings, something you rarely see in Japan. When you do see it it is probably being slurped by some children. Corn in ramen, to me, is something for white people who probably grew up farming the stuff. Feel free to have some sake with your noodles. The addition of corn and sweet pickled daikon was something I would have avoided if I had known. The sweetness (of both yellow things) just doesn't match with creamy pork soup. It's too much, and you lose the most important part, the soup. To add insult to injury, the soup was at a less than ideal temperatur...

Tomita at Narita Airport

Image
日本の中華そば 富田 成田空港第一ターミナル店 Tomita is one of Japan's most famous tsukemen shops. The recent Ramen Heads movie means that many people around the world know about the shop. And while the shop in Matsuda is the real deal, they recently opened a branch at Narita Airport. Convenient! Keep in mind, this is not a carbon copy clone of the original shop. Part of what makes Tomita so great is that the master, Osama Tomita, is always there making sure every detail is perfect. This is what the Japanese call a shokunin (職人) or craftsman. People will wait up to four hours at the head shop for what is arguably the number one shop in all of Japan. Tomita at the airport, on the other hand, uses an off-site industrial kitchen. The whole thing was overseen by Tomita-san, but the experience is nonetheless different. That aside, this is one amazing bowl. I've had airport ramen from Sapporo to Kyushu, and this one is legit. Thick tonkotsu gyokai soup, heavy on the dried fish flavors. Underlying umami ...

山為食堂 (Yamatame Shokudo in Wakayama)

Image
山為食堂 Wakayama is known for this style. Heavy pork tonkotsu soup with equally heavy, often local, shoyu seasoning. This particular shop, Yamatame Shokudo, is picture perfect, and a great way to start a local ramen tour. This shop has been open since 1953. The most famous shop in Wakayama is Ideshoten , a must-hit for anyone on a ramen mission in the area. Keep in mind, though, that there are dozens of other quality shops around. If you need a guide (and you probably do), check out the Wakayama Ramen Taxi. They will have you sorted in no time! This was part of a trip I took to Wakayama to check out the ramen taxi.
