Tokyo Ramen Expo: Komazawa Koen

Went to a national ramen festival in komazawa olympic park...apparently thats where the olympics where held in 1967 or something.

Sorry the photos are so dark. I took my small camera because it was rainy.
These are all the lines for the 50 or so ramen stands. The festival chose the best in the nation to come and showcase their flavors.

Another pic of the small ramen stands. We waited for 45 minutes!!

Tonkotsu hakata ramen. It was THE best ramen I've ever had. Tonkotsu is made from bones and the milky color comes from the bone marrow. The cook strained each serving of soup and fresh noodles and garnishes were set on top. The pink ginger was a great touch.


Today, I was suppose to go to the Japan vs. Belgium soccer game, but it was raining so we decided to go to a friend's house in Meguro.
This is the river that turnes bright pink during the spring with cherry blossoms.

This is Meguro River during Sakura season.
