Japanese Soup and Noodle Dishes to Rival a Bowl of Ramen | Japan Cheapo:
Ramen, like sushi, is a Japanese food that needs no explanation. Typically enjoyed by locals as an easy dish on the go, the old bowl of soup n' noodles is making quite a resurgence with trendier food-obsessed tourists. Sure, we all know that Ichiran restaurants are great because you don't have to look at anyone while you're making a soup splashing mess. And, yes, popular Afuri is worth lining up in the rain for at least once-but if you're only about the ramen, you're missing the many more incredible Japanese soup + noodle combos that the country has to offer. Here are just some of the best.

I will sample more of the other options this weekend. There's the Nabe Festival at Hibiya Park and the Soba & Sake Festival at Yoyogi Park.
Yum!
