With that warning out of the way, let me get to the food. The ramen is delicious. The noodle is glutinous, stewed pork is tender and the broth is flavorful and oily, just like how it should be. A basic bowl is between 550 to 600 jpy, and depending on the add-ons like stewed pork, stewed egg, salty roe, etc., can go up to 1000 jpy for "zenbu iri" or "all in". Many customer opt for a second serving of noodles, dumped right into their bowls, for about 150 jpy.
Here is a
photo I took of the outside after I dined there.
A more family-friendly and possibly more fun alternative is the
Raumen Museum near Shin Yokohama station. They used to have an English site but doesn't seem to be there any more. Anyways, the inside of the museum is a recreation of pre-war Yokohama street with many famous ramen restaurants from all over Japan vying for your business.
