And it certainly did.

I decided to drop by this ramen place for lunch today because this branch of the famous Hakata ramen chain is the first to specialize in miso broth instead of the usual tonkotsu kind.

The design of the place was actually rather funky for a ramen establishment although they did try to incorporate some of the old-style Japanese ramen shop details into it. Hip music was playing in the back ground as we entered and you were to order your ramen on this machine…

Red or white ? I chose the red hoping it would be the spicier choice.

Then came this huge red bowl filled with a myriad of things that would definitely make me happy. The miso sauce was delicious although I have to say, rather safe. Maybe because of the red bowl I expected something really spicy it would make my ears hurt. Not saying it wasn’t good though, I finished the whole thing and did walk out of the place happy.
