Sure sure you might be saying “Only in Tokyo” but you should be saying “Only in Japan” because there’s crazy stuff all over the place. Anyway there’s a restaurant in Tokyo that has created the ultimate ramen + desert in one package. Looks simple enough. Take some ramen, add some ice cream, and then eat as much as you can before puking. Nice! You can hit up this dish at a local ramen shop called “Kikuya” by taking a 15 minute walk north Kitasenjyu Station in Tokyo. If you want ramen it up and need to find Kikuya ASAP then memorize the name and these characters: èŠã‚„ To help you get lost I’ll include a map of Kitasenjyu Station (might not work) and I think this is a map showing where Kikuya is located.
That flavors can you expect? Vanilla Ice Cream Ramen, Chocolate Ramen, and every bodies favorite… Green Tea Ramen (LIKE WHOA!) Something to remember is that ice cream ramen could be a limtied summer time edition this year (like I heard it was last year) and if you show up too late in the season you might end up with some Coffee Ramen (a.k.a. kohii gyunyu ramen). Other items on the menu include white ramen (yogurt), red ramen (tomato), natto ramen, milk ramen, hot cocoa ramen, pork kimchi ramen, and other crazy combinations. Regular ramen is 500 Yen but if you choose that option I’m sure people will look at you funny.
Here’s a review if you can read Japanese (a friend gave me the link). I found out about this restaurant from this blog (it’s in Japanese too, which I cannot read). He seems to only visit strange restaurants so check it out. The pictures above are from his blog and ramen experience.
If you eat this, come back and let me know!
I am in tokyo right now, staying in Shibuya. Too bad I am leaving for Aizu tomorrow or I would check this restaurant out!
oooo…. maybe we’ll check it out next time we set fot to Tokyo
mmmm.. looks weird and i like it!
japaneseparadise - If you hit it up let me know!
That looks revolting. I’d like to try it drunk though.
Tim - Drunk? My god man! I wouldn’t be able to take it. It would be ice cream ramen going down, then ice cream ramen coming up.
ewww I thought it would be fried ramen sprinkled over ice cream, not a whole ice cream cone dumped in ramen soup! It looks like they were doing dishes and just threw the ice cream in the leftover soup.
Who runs this place ? A bunch of hikkikomori geeks or some neets ?
That’s the stupidest think I ever heard. Ice cream ramen !
WOW - That look awful, I am still intrigued by it….I love ramen, but the traditional kind, I am not sure I would ever think to put ice cream in it. It kind of looks like a mistake, on day at the Japanese version of Dairy Queen, and while serving the main say, RAMEN lunch, the dropped in an ICE CREAM cone to which every gasp, then the person taking the RAMEN lunch, said that’s OK, I’m hungry I’ll take it and decided it was good them opened up his store combining the two tastes….with EGG no less.
Would love to try it….at least once
David - LOL! Sounds like the old school Reeses commercial.
