Highlights
The soup is so thick it's been compared to spaghetti sauce, and the ramen itself is closer to mazesoba, making it easier to mix.
You can customize your ramen with various condiments and spices available at the table, including garlic, ginger, curry powder, and vinegar.
Bibs are available on top of the ticket vending machine to help with the messy slurping of the thick sauce.
