Food Style? Japanese Ramen

Toronto's favourite ramen place right in the heart of the city is always busy and it’s common to see lines outside this small cosy restaurant near Dundas and University. As summer has officially ended and I have to put a hoodie on when I go outside, it’s finally acceptable to have hot soup and noodles for dinner.

Mains


Shoyu Ramen with egg, bamboo shoot and green onion
I’ve gone for the Shoyu ramen with extra chashu, or pork belly. The broth is rich and meaty, full of umami flavour. It hits the spot on this mild spring day. You can even taste some of the smokiness from the beautifully charred pork. The bamboo adds a nice crunchiness, contrasting with the creamy egg, whose yolk is barely solid - a perfect texture.

That was excellent. Don't forget that it's acceptable, even encouraged, to slurp your noodles!
