They're so popular, they even had a line before the event opened! OK, so it was the Original Ramen Burger crew in their new red shirts... See What Jay Eats... Just a few things I had  I stopped by the Chilly Ribbons ' ski chalet to try their latest flavor, Red Bean. You can see the red bean pieces... Now ready to go with red beans, mochi, and almonds.
