Recap - Nisei Week Ramen Yokocho - 2014
During the Nisei Week celebration in Little Tokyo, there was a Ramen Yokocho Festival ("Yokocho" is Japanese for "Alley Way"). In Japan, there are alley ways packed with ramen shops right next to each other. This weekend was busy for me, I'm also working the 626 Night Market in Arcadia. But didn't want to miss the The Nisei Week Ramen Yokocho. We got here early on Saturday to find short lines. It was a hot day and probably had more people in the evening when it cooled down. Our first stop was Shoki Ramen House from Sacramento. They served a soy milk broth with tomato noodles, which I heard are gluten-free, with mushrooms, tomatoes, and greens. I loved the use of vegetables and liked the noodles. The broth was good, but without any protein fat, not a lot of rich flavor. It was light and I get it. If I lived in Sacramento, I would order this on a regular basis. Enjoying...
