Ramania

My old boss at the Ramen shop would be proud. I went to the Shin-Yokohama Ramen Museum, located in Kumao-san's (and M's) hometown of Yokohama. The inside was a replica of a post-war Japanese town. They had 9 different ramen shops within the museum all with different chefs from different regions.



There was an old toy and candy store, as well as a cork-gun shooting range. Even the sky was painted. It felt like I was really there. There was even a man who juggled while he balanced on a cylinder!



It's only 300 yen to get inside, and all the ramen is top quality. If you're an expert, there is even a guide for each ramen shop, outlining and ranking the spiciness, richness, flavor, etc. I had the recommended Tonkotsu ramen, and it didn't fail to meet my expectations.
