Located in Shibuya, this popular ramen joint has been around for years and serves delicious golden shoyu-based Chinese noodle (中華麺) ramen. It seems to be very popular amongst salary-men, students, and many of their loyal customers tend to be male. It’s located in a rather sketchy area (somewhat of a red light district…), but this place serves flavorful and delicious ramen.

The first floor counter seats were full when we arrived so we got seated in the second floor area. The workers were speaking Chinese to each other as we waited for our ramen. Both of us ordered the “Moyashi-men” (もやし麺) for 800yen. The generous amounts of moyashi with the golden shoyu-soup went perfectly together and I can see why many people love this place. Other popular ramen choices seem to be “Moyashi Wonton-men” (900yen), “Chashu wonton-men” (1000yen), and their gyoza (500yen). The ambiance is not necessarily nice nor does it have great service but the ramen is definitely good. Come check it out if you’re in the area.

Note: Some of their prices went up from when I took the photo of their menu

We have a new addition joining our family!

I am excited to share that my husband and I are expecting a baby girl this summer :) It’s our first child and we are very excited yet nervous for this upcoming journey as new parents. Apologies in advance as there will be a period where I won’t be able to update the blog as much, but I hope to continue posting as much as I can in the near future.

Above are photos from our lovely Baby Shower♡ We had about fifty of our dear friends and family celebrate with us and we are so grateful and thankful. We literally had nothing and now we have everything from a stroller and crib to multiple beautifully hand knitted blankets and more! We look forward to welcoming this new life and introducing the little one to you soon.

xoxo,
Maki
