Super Ramen

Let's begin this post by talking about a little something called responsibility. It's kind of important in life especially if you are the partner of this up-and-coming food blog and have a partner who has been waiting for you to update a post so that we won't loose and piss off the readers. Yeah, so responsibility. Winston Churchill once said, the price of greatness is responsibility. Well, bearded-one, you better take your broke ass home cause you ain't got no money for no greatness! Anyhow, now that's out of the way let's get on with the food. Let's not start a civil war here.

In this post, we are reviewing Super Ramen.  Yes, the name of this place is スーパーラーメン. And it's store sign boasts that they specialize in the fat on the back of the pig. I kid you not. Take out your kanji dictionary and study. 


This shop is located far from Waseda but close to Takananobaba. It's prefect for when you want to skip period 3 or wanting that well deserved chow-down after a "hard" day of work in SILS. First thing I want to draw your attention to is the price, 390 Yen. How much is an Onigiri? How much is an Onigiri + a strange Japanese concoction of god-know what. Yeah, exactly. This place is SUPER cheap. 390 Yen Ramen? I'll eat that All day, Everyday!

And as an added bonus, for you dudes out there who wants to built big muscle to impress the ladies but feel shorted by the Japanese staple diet of fish and rice, the first 100 costumers gets a free boiled egg! It's free and boiled. Point made.

First thought after I got this 390 Yen Ramen. "Damn this looks like it's from Naruto..." 

Lo and Behold,

I'd say that's pretty damn close! Don't envy that line of (meat?) organize perfectly in the shape of the island of Japan. Because if you are going to eat that much fat meat, then you might as well check yourself to a hospital after for preventative measures against an unforeseen heart attack. Damn, even the bowl's got similar designs. This reason alone is enough for you to get your butt down there and have this ramen. But since we are running a serious food blog here. We will review the ramen. 

The soup is a thick soy base. It is heavy, it is bold and it is fat. Though white blobs are exactly what you think they are. They are little droplets of fat from the freakin' back of the pig. Good to know guys. And if that's not enough oil for you, the noodle is sunk underneath a layer of oil. Oh! Don't get me wrong. This was delicious. The oils were like little white pearls floating on top of a clear film of soul essence. Meat, satisfying. Noodles, hard. Seaweed, soggy. Naruto fish cake thing, fuck yes! 

THE VERDICT

So there you have it folks! Try this place out folks! It's good for you pockets, good for your cravings and good for your soul. Don't worry about the oil. Japanese oil is apparently better and healthy then American oil. And I believe them. Do you see any fat Japanese people? Exactly. 

Oh look! What's this!? Friends? Good Friends who are undertaking this dining experience with me. Not like that bearded bastard who haven't wrote a post for a month. For that he doesn't get to write in the Verdict section. Power to the People!
