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!
