DOTONBORI, OSAKA: Ichiran Ramen

One of the comfort food among all the delicious food would be ramen for me. Sometimes, there's is nothing more heartwarming than a bowl of hot served ramen. There's this ramen shop that stands out above the rest named Ichiran. I've heard so much about it and finally I got to try em' during my Japan trip last year. (hmmm yea last year...it's already last year...)


Upon entering the restaurant, which serves only pork bone/tonkotsu ramen, you are greeted by the vending machine. Insert your money, press the button corresponding to your desired food item and take along your ticket to your seat. You then slide your ramen ticket to the staff through a small window in front of your single seat. While waiting for your ramen, you can get a glass of water from the dispenser at your seat. 





Again, the window flies open and your ramen is ready! You can now fully experience your personally customized ramen with no distractions. 




There are Ichiran restaurants all around Japan but the one we went to was in Dotonbori, Osaka. Personally, though I'd make the trip there just to have the ramen. If you are in Japan and craving for an amazing bowl of noodles, you cannot go wrong with Ichiran. I recommend anyone and everyone who's going to Japan to satify their ramen cravings here. :)
