1st visit to Tonpei at Nakano Broadway! ð¶
Â¥450 a bowl... feels like a Showa time-slip! ð Run solo by a quiet master, it's cozy, vintage & clean. âš
Hot gyoza packed a garlic punch ð§ð with classic shoyu ramen. ðð John noted "TT would love this!" ð¬ Repeat visit locked! ðââïž
Did a big cleanup at the old Bizentei ð§¹ Asked Master if heâd ever make ramen againâ"No way!" ð Asked about opening a bar instead, but "I'm done with business!" ᅵᅵᅵᅵ So maybe we shoot a fictional "Come Back Anytime" there with a script by John? Who should play Master? ð

Back at Wakura in Shinjuku! ðâ£ïž
Drank a bit at stop #1 ðºð·, but still hungry! Ate ramen before round 2 to avoid the "drink till dawn â¡ïž late-night ramen â¡ïž waste next day" curse ð
Hakata tonkotsu with kaedama was overkill ð, but caught last train ð & worked out great! ðââïž

Ramen at Nakano Taishoken! ð
Famed as the birthplace of tsukemen, but opted for ramen with thick noodles ðð¥¢
Piping-hot soup with a unique, soba-tsuyu-like sweetness is so memorable ð Slurping noodles & sweating in the heat is strangely exhilarating ðŠ Highly satisfying! ð
