The real ramen in Little Tokyo (eng)

The last two weeks, my home was an authentic Little Tokyo in Los Angeles. And almost every day my way passed by a Japanese restaurant. On the street in front of these doors, there was always a crowd of about 30 people.

The other day, my curiosity prevailed, and I wth my friend stood in line with the others.
It turns out that a real ramen was served inside a variety of variations! In all, there are 16 species.

Of course, we chose vegetarian dishes.

Ramen – literally translated as "to imbibe the noodles." It is based on broth (fish, chicken, meat, vegetables ...) and wheat noodles. Other additives depend on the dish - vegetables, meat, pickles, eggs, nori, etc.Portions were huge, hearty and tasty. But most of all I was impressed by the atmosphere!

A small, tight room was completely crowded with visitors. We had to sit down at the bar to not wait for our turn even longer. And behind the bar counter there was a kitchen! Everything was boiling, steaming, roasting .. there were shouts of chefs, the flames burned, it was hot as in a sauna! And along it all stretched a long stand of happy visitors, eating ramen for both cheeks.

It reminded me of a lot of old American movies, when the characters, without leaving their hometown, got to this Asia with all its amazing coloring. Finally, I happened to feel myself the heroine of such a film. And even better - a resident of the country, where all cultures of the world intertwine.

When you're in Los Angeles, be sure to go to Little Tokyo! These restaurants and shops are a delight and Kawaii ( 可愛い).

               Thank You!
