Ramen in Jyuugaoka

June 7, 2008 on 1:02 pm | In Food, Tokyo, Yokohama | | Email This Post

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).

    Was having major issues with the comment feature of the blog. Seems a bit better now…

    Average price for great ramen is around 750 yen. But I’d gladly pay 3 times that for some of the stuff I’ve come across.

    I’ll check out this place, thanks for the tip.

    3 times is pretty intense! Do share. Where was this yummy ramen.

    I’ll have to make a to-do list for the next time I’m in Japan!

    MIST is a spot in the Omotesando Hills shopping mall and ramen at lunch costs 1500. Dinner had a “ramen concept” course menu for 5500 yen.
