Ramen exceeded every expectation
I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Ramen made with real commitment to soy sauce and technique. The clean and umami-forward result was more complex and satisfying than anything I'd had before.
Japanese cuisine philosophy of shokunin craftsmanship shapes how even simple dishes are prepared. The a ramen shop at lunchtime was exactly right for this kind of eating. green tea was offered as the natural choice and it elevated everything. When a dish you thought you knew surprises you completely, that's worth celebrating. Five stars without hesitation.
