Taisyoken  001

It’s been too long since I last wrote a post about ramen. Doesn’t mean I haven’t had any though.

Met a good buddy of mine over the weekend and decided to try out the new Taisyouken (大勝軒) shop near Keio University.

Morning Musume Fat Noodles

Saturday, December 12th, 2009

Saw this 太麺 (futomen, fat noodle) commercial on TV today. Doesn’t it remind you of a certain song from Morning Musume? I think it was called 恋愛レボリューション21 (Renai Revolution 21).

What do you think? Which version do you prefer? ^^.

ippachiya 2

Was spending some quality ramen time with my good friend Tomo last weekend in 家系 (iekei) mecca. He brought me to his favorite ramen in Yokohama. He told me the last time he visited for a bowl, he was still enrolled in Keio… quite a number of years back.

Jangara ramen

It’s been a while since I last had some Kyusyu Jangara Ramen. Most of the time when I’m having this particular ramen, it’s at their main shop in otaku mecca, Akihabara. I was introduced to it by a friend who brought me there many suns and moons ago when I first arrived in Tokyo to begin my studies. This particular shop, is in Harajuku.

Evangelion にんにくらーめん

Monday, July 27th, 2009

チャーシュー抜きだけど。。。No char siew or roasted pork in this instant cup noodles. I guess most of us won’t mind since Rei Ayanami is on the cup. ^^. This Evangelion-themed garlic-flavoured instant cup noodles by nissin is pretty tasty. A great pick me up for when one is running low on energy.

You can find Evangelion references on practically every surface of the cup! I’m pretty impressed that they even customized the sticker you can find at the bottom too. The sticker is used for holding down the lid after you’ve poured hot water into the cup.

I started with 3 cups. Gave 2 away to 2 juniors who are huge Evangelion fans. They were extremely careful when going through the packaging.

“Everything, even the lid and the sticker, is going on my Eva shelf for display once I’ve finished the noodles and cleaned out the cup!”

Are you a big Eva fan? I’ve yet to watch the new movie. Heard wonderful things about it though. ^^.

This is the worst! 最低だ! Every ramen eater’s worst nightname is having his/her spoon slip into the soup. Appetite just flies out the window when treated to this sorrowful sight.
