With the recent influx of creativity driving the height of ramen in Tokyo to new levels, Bassanova is on the forefront of creating an amazing Thai-influenced bowl that will knock your Chada off. Their signature ramen is the Tondaku Wadasi Soba, which is a half-tonkotsu-half-fish blend with thin noodles and grilled chashu. But I've always had a thing for their Green Curry (グリーンカレー) Ramen--a mildly spicy, rich and refreshing blend with thick noodles that satisfies whether you're sober or not. Some other offerings include a Tom Yum Soba, a 100% Tonkotsu Ramen, and a Tondaku Wadasi Soba with extra meat. I may be biased since my brother lives close by, but it's definitely a must try when you're in or around the area.
If you can find your way to Shindaita Station, it's about a one minute walk from there. Just exit the station, cross the street, and go right. Then you'll see a vertical neon sign that says RA-MEN on your left. You can't miss it! Order from the ticket machine (Green Curry is in the leftmost column, fourth button down) and grab a seat. They are open every night from 6pm-3am (last order 2:30am).

ReplyDeleteYou really are addicted to that green curry ramen aren't you? :)
ReplyDeleteAddicted is an understatement. It's more like obsessed with a stalker-like passion. hehe.
ReplyDeleteHi Keizo,
ReplyDeleteThanks for starting this series on the Ramen-ya with Google. This is very helpful. :)
And that Green Curry Ramen looks subarashi~ :).
Is the Red Strands that I see Saffron?! That would be amazing and hella expensive! :)
Got it.
ReplyDeleteGinza line to Shibuya. Keio Inokashira line to Shin-daita. ¥350.
I still need some clarification of what each button on the ordering machine denotes.
I won't type here what I know are the translations of some kanji characters because that would likely move this blog lower on the Google® page rankings. But I do not know the difference (as far as the kanji goes) between miso and shoyu (just to begin).

“Yaa. -What did I just order?”
Not open on Tuesdays :(
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I know this because I went on a Tuesday. I'm going to try to make it again before I leave in 24 hours.
Maybe update post cause it says open everyday right now? I think this post is a large resource for those interested in going.
Also close at 2am nowadays.
