    One of the best tasting Ramen ever! Apparently they have locations in Tokyo and throughout Japan. So if you're in Japan go check it out! It's not like Instant noodles ok, I was a skeptic once saying how good can Ramen be seriously. Well I can't explain it to you just like no one who had tasted it...
