Yokohama Ramen Ichirokuya

There are as many styles of ramen in Japan as there are pizza in the US.

Speaking of pizza, I really miss US “Taco Pizza”, not octopus tako, I mean Americanized-Mexican taco. Anyone here know the Godfathers Pizza chain? Their taco pizza has these Dorrito-esque chips on top, piled high… Yummy soft thick crust… I love it.

Anyway, I’m still in Japan. Let’s get back to Ramen.

This restaurant is called Ichirokuya and is a chain that originated in Yokohama but can be found all over Japan.

The ramen here has a thick, almost butter broth.

It fills you up.

You’ll taste it the next morning when you wake up.

This was definitely a unique ramen experience, but I can’t say I would go out of my way to visit again. I guess I’m more into the thin, あっさり type of ramen broth.

Hey, my camera is workin’ the macro on that close-up shot though isn’t it?
