Yokohama Yoshimuraya Ramen

It’s ramen time again!

I finally got a chance to check out Yoshimuraya in Yokohama. I ride my bike past this place on my way to and from school, and at night it seems to always have a long line in front.

That means it must be good right? (JapanThink)

You pick what kind of ramen you want before entering this place at a vending machine at the front door. The broth and noodles are all the same, but you can chose the size, and additional ingredients to add.

I chose “Stamina Yasai” (stamina vegetables), and a medium sized bowl.

The seating consists of one giant counter, and in the middle you can watch the employees doing their reckless ramen routine. The floor has a drain, so the employees wear rubber boots (can I say.. goulashes? I love that word!) and freely splash ramen soup all over the floor. It’s kind of fun to watch their haphazard style. It seems to get the job done though!

Another friend ordered a different type of Ramen, I believe it was cabbage… I’m guessing this from the giant chunks of cabbage sticking out of the ramen… That you can also see… Below… Yeah.

Fun place, good food, hefty volume, highly recommended!

    The ramen is horrible in Korea. This post is just cruel. You’re taunting me!

    At least Korea has ramen. :) I’m not seeing a lot here in NZ… except those little plastic bags at the store with Mi Goreng. Apparently it’s from Indonesia. Harvey’s bowl of yummy “stamina veggies” looks amazing! I think I need dinner.

    懐かしい 〜！That was some damn good ramen.

    I visited the Sendai branch of 一風堂 with my girlfriend the other day, and I have to say it’s a bit tastier than what we had in Queen’s East. Still, ramen doesn’t have the same presence up here in Tohoku that it does in Yokohama. When I meet people here and tell them I spent a year in Yokohama, they’ll eventually ask me if I visited the ラーメン博物館. And that just makes me want to cry.

    I haven’t even left Japan yet and I already miss ramen. Oh boy.
