Daikokuya Ramen

After a visit to the MOCA Murakami Exhibit, my sister and I decided to have lunch at Daikokuya Ramen in Little Tokyo. This is one of our favorite spots to eat Japanese-style ramen. The noodles swim in a rich and meaty stock then topped with bamboo shoots, green onion, a hard-boiled egg, bean sprouts and slices of kurobuta (black pork). The meal is complete with some garlic paste added to the broth and red pickled ginger on the side. The always busy Daikokuya also serves donburi and bento, but the ramen takes the spotlight when it comes to a simple and very satisfying meal.
