Shinjyukugyoen Ramen Ouka

The place is quite small and we waited for earlier diners to finish to be able to get in, this is common for a ramen eateries though. Customers are expected to eat fast and go, to make room for waiting ones. This is unfortunate as the place is cozy (albeit small), food is good and the staff are friendly; you would want to spend more time. We were the last ones that night, so we get to dine at ease and the owner (Madam Megumi, a lovely Japanese Muslimah) served us a special tasty fragrant berry tea (on top of our green tea that comes with the ramen). The ramen with rice is hot (spiciness can be elevated at 100yen a notch but the original was already a killer) and fulfilling, with side dishes. Definitely a memorable place.
