Nara Tenri Ramen
The city of Tenri in Nara is known for two things - the Tenrikyo religion...and RAMEN!
The local ramen is referred to as "Stamina Ramen". It's rather unique. For one, the shoyu (soy sauce) seasoned soup is packed with Chinese cabbage, or hakusai. Hakusai is a topping you rarely see in ramen.
Alongside the tangy shoyu base, the soup is a bit spicy from togarashi spice and broad bean chili paste. You'll also notice the strong presence of garlic. In summary, this is an underrated, delicious ramen that hits the spot any time of year.
