Ramen in Jyuugaoka

I stumbled upon this yummy Ramen shop in Jyuugaoka while wandering with a friend in Tokyo before I left.

Just look at this.

The peppered stuff in the upper left above the pork is tuna (maguro) –  and boy was it good.

This is some high-quality, high-cost ramen. I think it was something like 900 yen a bowl.

Here’s what the store front looks like, and I have also included the map from the back of the shops business card so you can find it if you’ve got a craving for some posh ramen.

At first I didn’t know how I felt about upper-class ramen. I mean, ramen is generally the poor man’s food right? It’s what you eat every other day when you’re a college student. It’s great after you have spent all your money at the club and want something to fill your stomach. 600, maybe 700 yen, but never breaking 1000 yen  a bowl. This one is right on the border!

It was great though. I’d go again (and again).
