Yoshimuraya Ramen in Yokohama

Ramen @ Yoshimuraya 25/5/2018 The day was still young after 2 amazing ramen experiences, so we paid a little visit to Yokohama for old time's sake. We couldn't go by without visiting the number 1 Ieke shop - Yoshimuraya. We also did some fun stuff like catch a ferris wheel together, but back to ramen! Creamy soy-based tonkotsu with a strong kick of umami. Traditional spinach and pork toppings, and we got double nori just because. Chicken oil for sweetness, a deliciously fulfilling combination even if you have long queues in front of you. Similar to Jiro and some other classic shops, they don't use noodle baskets for each portion here; it's all about feel. The noodles for 10 people go into the boiler, then the noodle master feels the weight in the strainer and does his signature flicks before sliding it into a bowl. If it's an upsize, well, he's slung it so many times that he just knows.
