My Ramen Adventures in NYC

April 26, 2014

Inquisitive Eating
I was never a ramen fanatic before I started to work at Bassanova Ramen. Yes, I've been to Ippudo and Totto before my job, but I didn't care enough to learn the culture and what's actually good. The fact I have to interact with customers and inform them about this new Japanese restaurant in Chinatown really pushed me to study the art of ramen. The ingredients, the type of noodles to use, the way to create a bowl of ramen...I learned and observed these things at work and then I had this thought of exploring (or what I called "spying") all the ramen shops in NYC. Frankly, many people already started this so-called adventure way before me. But everyone's taste buds are different. You have to actually experience the ramen shop's products before you can say, "this is delicious." Inspired by Keizo Shimamoto's ramen journey in Japan, I consider this as my personal adventure in the city. Welcome aboard everyone, here are the ramen restaurants on my visit list:
