Asahikawa shoyu has got to be one of my favorite types of ramen, mostly because the rich shoyu flavor blended with pork and fish and all the other ingredients guarantees to put a smile on my face. And Asameshi Maeda Honten was no exception! <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8EL--QqwIqk/R7ZPY7_vAmI/AAAAAAAABM8/7DNVPW2EQKc/s1600-h/DSC02120.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8EL--QqwIqk/R7ZPY7_vAmI/AAAAAAAABM8/7DNVPW2EQKc/s320/DSC02120.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5167404912294691426" border="0" /></a> The very first thing I noticed was...wow a real bowl. Then I realized I had ticket #266 and that means someone has had to wash 265 bowls before mine...and this is only the first day! Man, I feel sorry for that person. Okay, on to the ramen. I almost felt like I was back in Japan traveling from <a href="http://www.goramen.com/2008/01/tokyo-ramen-trip-day-5-part-1.html">Tokyo</a> to <a href="http://www.goramen.com/2008/01/tokyo-ramen-trip-2008-day-5-part-2.html">Yokohama</a> to <a href="http://www.goramen.com/2008/01/tokyo-ramen-trip-2008-day-5-part-3.html">Kawasaki</a> all in one day to eat ramen. It's too bad we don't have a real <a href="http://www.ramenramenramen.net/2008/01/20/iron-chef-ramen/">ramen park</a> over here, but I guess this is close enough. This ramen was incredibly good! If my stomach would have been able to take it, I would have eaten another bowl. Even with a burnt tongue, that soup was delicious (I think my tongue is really burnt now). The noodles could have been better, but they were just like Asahikawa makes them. The toppings (thinly sliced flavorful chashu, menma, egg, and negi) capped off a remarkably tasty ramen. You have to GO! <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8EL--QqwIqk/R7ZPZb_vAnI/AAAAAAAABNE/oCRRBy7PCEc/s1600-h/DSC02123.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8EL--QqwIqk/R7ZPZb_vAnI/AAAAAAAABNE/oCRRBy7PCEc/s320/DSC02123.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5167404920884626034" border="0" /></a> Asameshi Maeda Honten will also be in Torrance from 2/22 ~ 2/25 and San Diego from 2/29 ~ 3/3 both at their respective Mitsuwa locations. If you miss the one in your town, I recommend traveling to the next closest.
