TOKYO: Mutekiya Ramen 麺創房無敵家

You know, everytime when people ask me " Where's your favourite tonkotsu ramen in tokyo?" I find it so hard to answer. Because previously.. I really didn't have one. Most people love Ichiran, and just walk past any Ichiran store and you can see all these tourists queueing up for it. I've eaten Ichiran 3x and everytime after eating, I just feel REALLY SICK. 

It's like a trigger button for my reflux. 

So I usually avoid tonkotsu ramen. My friends all know that I rave so much about Afuri. It's a chicken based soup ramen chain store - if you ever see it, please go and try ! My favourite is the yuzu ramen or yuzu tsukemen. I'll do a post on it sometime soon I promise !

Anyway, Nick on the other hand, LOVES tonkotsu ramen. But he hasn't been able to have them because of me ( because I wear the pants when we go on holidays heheheheh ) So one day I thought, aiya, so poor thing ah this boy I'm depriving him of things he love. And I thought about how I would feel if someone deprived me of desserts....  So i said to him one morning,okay la, Lets go try this tonkotsu ramen place Enxin recommended. 

WAH. IT'S SO FAR. It's in ikebukuro. On my way there I was already thinking, wah, if it sucks, I'll be so mad. 

There was a short queue when we arrived at 12noon, my Japanese friend told me that it must have been my lucky day because the queue is usually SO LONG.

First time trying right... So I had to go for their #1 recommendation. Cannot anyhow itchy backside try something else, otherwise what if it sucks how? Then Nick will have another excuse to lug me back because I must have " not picked the right one"

Words can't describe how good this ramen is. The broth was rich but.. you know how sometimes after drinking rich broth you feel very sick, like you want to vomit, this was the total opposite. I just wanted to drink more and more of it. And I finished the whole bowl of soup. And I did not have any indigestion from it either.

It was really good but I don't think I would travel all the way to ikebukuro ( This is it's ONLY shop)  if I had nothing to do nearby and time pressed during a holiday.

But if you truly want to try because you have a spare afternoon in tokyo, please do, and after you may head over to Sunshine City and see how well you know your pokemons :p
