Deluxe ramen at a place I’ve been meaning to try! I rarely choose deluxe (特製) because it’s so expensive, but this place has such good marketing about their ingredients and strict selection process that I couldn’t pass up trying one of everything……
The chashu was quality meat and well cooked but plainly seasoned for my taste, the wontons were very generously portioned and pretty tasty, the egg was standard, and the noods had absolutely excellent texture and taste. Next time I’d try their shio broth rather than shoyu—there’s not much variation in shoyu, and it ends up tasting largely the same everywhere.
Shoyu ramen from Yama, in Downtown Morgantown. Unquestionably one of my favorite meals from one of my favorite restaurants.
I’ve always been partial to cramped establishments. There’s something about sitting nearly shoulder to shoulder with perfect strangers in a cramped room that makes the food taste better.
