"I have a confession: I’m new to the ramen scene, and mostly my experience has been underwhelming. I had been to both Shoryu and Tonkotsu, and I found both of the bowls of ramen to be overpriced and boring. The tonkotsu broth was rich and fatty, but so incredibly bland that the only thing that could save it was adding about half a container of chili sauce in order to give it any sort of interesting characteristics. And I was paying something like £14 for what, ultimately, is boring noodle soup. I mean I know ramen is really popular in Japan, but I’m pretty sure they don’t charge the equivalent of £14 there. (Maybe I’m just naive about it. I don’t know. So when some of the Boozy Bunch thought Ramen Wars would be a fun idea, my response was a giant “Meh”."
