Ajisen is originally from Kumamoto and I saw tons of them when I was there. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to try them. I wouldn't dare step into one in the states anymore.Keizo Shimamotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16021292533329876539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5559927128534150588.post-52563306969296676032009-09-21T14:55:19.556-04:002009-09-21T14:55:19.556-04:00This is getting a little off topic, but has anyone...This is getting a little off topic, but has anyone actually tried the original Ajisen Ramen in Japan? (The name just makes me think of Ajinomoto's MSG!)<br /><br />I remember I was in Kunshan, China and I saw a knockoff (!?) of Ajisen, changing one of the characters.<br /><br />There were a couple other chains in Taiwan too that are supposed to be "from Japan" I wonder how true they are to their supposed roots?Seneschalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02004352621300638013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5559927128534150588.post-40678013180126533842009-09-17T11:28:08.782-04:002009-09-17T11:28:08.782-04:00@Hirono: Hirono!

The noodle is a bit too soft, but the pork was very tender.<br /><br />I tried Ajisen before and I think people are not getting what they are pay for... the only thing that's good in the restaurant... mango slush, that's all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5559927128534150588.post-32546508055213778902009-09-16T21:09:37.684-04:002009-09-16T21:09:37.684-04:00Hi!

I totally thought of you when I was a...Hi Keizo! <br /><br />I totally thought of you when I was at Hokkaido Food Fair yesterday. I went to the Torrance one and had a blast. I found the shio ramen at Shingen to be pretty delicious. I don't usually go for shio flavor but this one was not bad! I agree that chashu was da bomb. I'm a little happy to hear that the butter ramen at the Costa Mesa was not so good because we didn't get to go to that one ... hee hee. I was impressed that, despite all the people looking for a taste of the special ramen, Santouka still had a pretty good amount of people in line! <br /><br />Welcome back! I hope you recover from jet lag soon! <br /><br />HironoHironohttp://timefordinner.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5559927128534150588.post-52978698810511714502009-09-14T10:16:14.915-04:002009-09-14T10:16:14.915-04:00Thanks for the heads up, but I never really though...Thanks for the heads up, but I never really thought of Ajisen to be ramen (at least the ones in the states). Nevertheless, it's good to see one pop up in a mall...I guess. haha.Keizo Shimamotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16021292533329876539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5559927128534150588.post-26876580740891385802009-09-14T02:51:12.614-04:002009-09-14T02:51:12.614-04:00Uh, random announcement.

Wow, I knew ramen was getting yuppy but this takes it to a new level. Here's the only online proof I could find:<br />http://mikeyhateseverything.blogspot.com/2009/09/in-news-ajisen-ramen-comes-to-century.html<br />I saw it with my own two eyes tonight.檀https://www.blogger.com/profile/13487873576134878858noreply@blogger.com
