A change of scenery...

Dear ramen friends and ramen fans,

My apologies for not updating my blog recently. To briefly explain, it's because I've been cutoff from the Internet in recent weeks. Why, you ask? Well, as of today I will be temporarily leaving Japan and moving to New York. As you may or may not already know (from my monthly back-and-forth trips), we will be opening a Bassanova NY branch this summer and if all goes well we will be opening very very soon. So I just wanted to thank you all for being so patient and please stay tuned for more Ramen Dreams coming true in the near future. Go Ramen! Go Life!

If I had to choose the last bowls I'd want to slurp on this Earth (the next few days will be like this), I'd definitely choose these next two.

Miso Chashu.

Tan Tan Tei.

Mixed Wontonmen.

Day 1304:

After a refreshing trip to the gym, it was time to pay a visit to an old friend.

Gamushara.

This is still one of my favorite bowls to photograph.

I mean just look it at.

It's beautiful.

Speaking of beautiful.

She is a true beauty!

For some reason, I was craving Iekei so I stopped at Katsuraya on my way home.

Ie-yay-kei!

Okay maybe I shouldn't have done that.

haha.

Best of the best...

Day 1303:

Yokarou...

Day 1302:

When someone swears to you that the ramen from Yokarou (よかろう) in Toranomon is one of the best bowls they've ever had, it makes you wonder...

Could it really be that good? hmm.

Date night!

Pizza and tiramisu.

ai-rub-yuu.
