So this is one of our favourites. Miso spicy ramen for 900 yen.
The wonderful thing about the ramen shops here is that you can request your level of spicy - most shops have from 1-10 (going off the scale up to 15) but the bomb shop goes as high as you want. On the graph it goes up to 20 with the little picture of the person looking pretty sweaty and sore, so of course going higher is always the challenge. There is a wall of fame (or stupidity) with your score on a little wooden plaque that you get to decorate and so far the highest up there is 401! Ouch!
Ace has tried up to 130 spicy which well i think made the afternoon in the office not so fun!! I have only done up to 20 and that was enough. The results are sore mouth and lips, grumbly crampy tummy and paper defo in the freezer! Today we both had 10 spicy and it was nice, you can still taste the miso soup flavour without burning your mouth and lips off. It always fun to watch those trying a higher spicy rating to see them sweat and squirm and only just finish their bowl. Of course the boys from the office try and beat each other with the highest being 130 so far.
The soup is a bright red colour and reasonable thick from the miso too! not too much other stuff in it just noodles, egg and some green shallots.
Often has a line out the door but not long to wait of course. A regular haunt for us, defo gets high on the spicy ramen hunt for yumminess and uber hotness.
