Niboshi Shoyu @ Tatsunoya Ramen

Zac — Mon, 03 Jul 2023 04:40:20 +0000

June 2023 brought a special treat to Pasadena’s Tatsunoya Ramen – the Niboshi Shoyu Ramen. This dish had a unique fish broth and was topped with soft, poached salmon, crunchy bamboo shoots, fish cake, green onion, and seaweed. The niboshi gave a slightly bitter edge, adding a layer of complexity to the flavors without overpowering them. For those new to the fishy taste of niboshi, it might take some getting used to, much like it did for me. However, over time, this taste has grown on me, and I find myself drawn to it. All these elements combined to create a truly special bowl during that month.

Tantan Egg Drop @ Ramen Ya

Zac — Fri, 13 Jan 2023 02:05:35 +0000

A hidden gem of a ramen shop has been discovered on the west side of LA. This is one of the oldest shops in LA, having been serving up ramen since 1990. This shop is located a few miles away from Sawtelle Blvd, which happens to be a very ramen shop dense area. Ramen Ya LA is serving up bowls that are pretty distinct from what you’ll find over on Sawtelle.

Jiro Ramen @ Hakata Ikkousha

Zac — Thu, 16 Jun 2022 03:44:12 +0000

This is a new summer special that is currently available in their Costa Mesa and Torrance locations. Get over there and try this bowl out for yourself. Tell them ramen Zac sent ya!

It’s a tonktosu shoyu soup, topped with bean sprouts, cabbage, garlic, and fat. Paired with thick noodles. You have the option to customize this bowl. I went with normal taste, double garlic, and normal vegetable toppings.

This style of ramen is known for its mile high pile of bean sprouts and had I selected double vegetables, mine would have been a mile tall.

Super thick noodles.
