Ramen...mmmmm

This was one of our favourite meals in Japan. It was so good we had it almost every day after we tried it although it seemed more like a western Japan food. We sat in individual booths (like a bar) and selected our meal on a piece of paper then handed it to the person on the other side of the curtain (to which we only ever saw hands). Then within minutes your soup arrived and the curtain went all the way down for privacy. We thought this was the greatest thing ever! The soup was fantastic too! I cant really explain what it is but there are noodles, some spices, some green onion, cilantro, a couple slices of pork and a boiled egg if you want it all in a kindof creamy pork broth. Soooo good! Definitely want to learn how to cook it when we get home!
