not the best i've had but it was good...it wasn't salty at all....but the ingredients are fresh and you can tell. i daresay it had a light taste, given the fact that it's ramen....i still prefer this other place - Daikokuya...their broth has more depth and their black pork is like butter...and the noodles just perfect.

oi so... :puppydog:

i think that's how it's pronounced.

Kogashi Negi Ramen with Chashu, bamboo shoots, and green onions (the brown bits atop the sliced pork are the fried onions)

Very nice. Okay, so who is next on the ramen train?


BTW, I went cheap and waited until 1:30 to get a cup of pozole from our cafe for $0.99.

i need to find a shop with good noodles..

i seriously love you guys for giving me ideas for dinner!! :)

Oh, I read the description of the broth from Ramen Halu. While it doesn't say "tonkotsu", the word "milky" did appear so it must be that.

I subscribe to the outstanding English word Japanese Cultural Magazine published in Japan and they had this interesting guide to Ginza in Tokyo.

Check out this description from the magazine regarding this one restaurant:
-------------------------------
Kaika

Another eagerly sought & scarce commdity in Ginza at lunchtime is Kaika's steak-don. Only 10 bowls are served each day.

Beef takes center stage on the menu, and Kaika serves only the choicest from kuroge Wagyu (an ancient, black-haired breed of Japanese cattle.) It orginiated in the old province of Tajima, now Hyougo prefecture (Kobe is the capital). A fairly small number of farms raise these animals today, carefully controlling their diet, often fattening them on sake and beer mash, massaging them, and preventing them for exercising, which would toughen the meat.


From the best sources around Japan, Kaika buys only Class A5 (the top grade) which is noted for its high fat conent and fine marbling that beautifully crisscrosses the meat. This is what gives sweet, rich flavor and melt-in-your mouth texture. It all gets cooked before your eyes on a specially made steel griddle built into a 7 meter long counter. Fresh seafood and organically grown vegetables are also cooked here.

For each serving of steak-don, a 100 gram slice of fillet of beef is seared on the steel plate and served on rice. It comes with a salad, small side dish, desert and pickles.

Lunch steak-don 3,500 YEN

100 grams? ~$33 for under 1/3 pound of Wagyu....:headscratch:

My American side says too much for too little.....my "Japanese" side says not too bad for Wagyu.
