A day in Yokohama

in #japan7 years ago

First stop, the beautiful Sankei-en garden of old Japan. This garden was built over 100 years ago, and gives an idea of what living back then was like in Japan.

Time to eat!

Yokohama Ramen Museum. The decor mirrors 1950s Japan.

Mini tuna ramen with bean sprouts, seaweed and spring onion. The broth has a fishy taste, but in a way that you can drink lots of it and still want more. A mixture of many ingredients that enhance the umami taste.

Mini tonkotsu ramen. Many little bits of crunchy breadcrumb-like things. The broth was very rich, yet it wasn't sickening at all. I found myself wanting more after it was gone.
