NERIMA: Hokkaido Ramen Himuro... boring boring blah blah

Trying to hunt down a ramen shop at 3am can be quite a task in somewhat countryside Nerima but luckily we found a place that was quite busy...


Most of the menu is pictured... they have Miso, Shoyu and Shio ramens.

Can select how you want the soup style of your noodles... normal or hard.

Free large portion of noodles for Tsukemen orders.

300yen Gyoza... nice and crispy on the outside.



Lots of submenu items... all Japanese.



Counter seating with quite a few drunk guys in this shop... the dangers of staying open past the last train for any food establishment.

George's Tsukemen...

I went for the recommended Spicy Miso "Orochon" Ramen... 

There it is... a reddish miso soup with very small chunks of pork and what seems to be dark jellyfish?  Hmm... 

Well... after a few bites I really didn't like this ramen.  It was just simply too boring... and later when I got home I realized the feeling among many foodies was the same with its extremely low ranking of 2.99 points.  The noodles were curly and lacked any texture, the soup seemed like they just put a scoup of miso paste into hot water and swished it around... I honestly was ready to give up half way thru the meal but Scott picked up the tab so at least tried to eat all the noodles.

Check it out! Looks like a pro-wrestler stopped by on my Bday! Anyways... the ramen here really really sucked on par with low budget store bought generic ramen noodles.  People! Don't Go!!
