Ramen Ramen Everywhere

In our trip to Tokyo, we stayed in the Roppongi area as recommended by friends. Around Roppongi, there are many places to eat. Today I feature a chain of Ramen Restaurant in Tokyo.

Ramen is as common as finding a noodle stall in a Singapore coffeeshop. On the first day on our visit in Tokyo, we found a ramen restaurant just minutes away from the apartment we stayed in. My family here at the restaurant.

I am used to eating noodles for breakfast but I can’t say the same for my family who are more used to eating bread. This particular joint is opened 24 hours and serves several kinds of ramen and other cuisine.

Like gyoza.

And rice bowl too…

I had this ramen which was a tad too salty for my taste.

Ramen shops are everywhere in Japan. In fact, there is a similar store about 500 metres across the street. This is one is ok, nothing fantastic. Next, I will feature a Soba joint. What they call a “One Coin” eating outlet.

Tokyo Tower At Night

We were walking to Nodaiwa Unagi restaurant for dinner when we caught the Tokyo Tower brightly lit up at night. My good friend Peter Chong recommended Nodaiwa - he swears by their unagi.

But little did we realise that Nodaiwa is closed on Sunday - anyway, we managed to make our way back to Nodaiwa the next week, thanks to my colleague who help make the reservations. I shall blog about our meal at Nodaiwa in another post. Suffice to say the meal was really good.

It was a beautiful crisp cold night out but the view of the Tokyo Tower was well worth it.

I understand that they change the lighting to suit the season and this towards the end of winter is orange.
