AFURI Shinjuku Lumine1

Went there to try out their vegetarian Ramen. Was a bit bland and disappointing. I commend them on having this option on the menu but they need to work on this a bit more. Maybe their regular Ramen is better.

I'm a huge fan of ramen, and this Yuzu ratanmen was a treat. It's sour with a taste like citrus but not quite like a lemon or lime, or so intensely sour. The broth is flavourful and not heavy, and the pork is outstanding. Definitely worth navigating the maze of Shinjuku Station to find. Go down two floors from the south east entrance (opposite the KFC) and hunt around until you find it.

A different kind of ramen experience. The dipping sauce was great, and meat was delishish. I had problems being taller than average, and difficult to find. Also a bit more expensive than places on the street!
