Trying to remember where this fantastic ramen shop was. Can you help?
I stayed at the Courtyard by Marriott hotel just off Higashi Ginza. They recommended this "very old and famous" ramen shop, within walking distance. This was nine years ago. I easily followed their directions, but now I don't recall if I crossed Higashi Ginza, or turned left. I tried to find it three years ago, but couldn't in the 30 minutes I had available. Either way, it wasn't far. Maybe a 10 minute walk from the hotel.
Clues:
Shop was in the basement. It would have been a few paces off a northeast corner.
Lunchtime had a line on the sidewalk. Go through the doorway, turn right, down half a flight, turn left a few more steps down.
Small. Had an open kitchen behind an eating bar, for maybe 6-8 people, auto-beer dispensers, and a skinny dining area with perhaps a dozen (?) tables.
My pork ramen came with a yin-yang design on top. Two different broths made up the design. I have no idea how that was accomplished.
Utterly delicious.
*sigh*
Returning in September and want my wife to experience it.
Okay, that was noble. Fact is, I want to experience it again.
Thanks for any help.
