I live by a few simple mantras, 1 of them being “hot day cold food, cold day hot food”.
That being said this winter i`ve scoffed down my fair share of ramen and if i had to narrow it down to a top 3 then Tantanmen at Kohmen Ramen would be in it.
Up until a fortnight ago i`d only known of 2 shops, both a train ride from home …. that was untl i walked home a new direction and found a shop on route.

In the pursuit of something different to eat the other night i stumbled across Wontonmen at a local restaurant just near Yoyogi Station.
Up until then i`d never seen in on the menu but now i`m glad i did, it`s a great blend of Ramen with a good 3 or 4 steamed Wontons floating in a great broth.
It was bloody well priced too coming in at 1200 yen for the Wontonmen and a beer.

On the back of last nights bar opening near my place, I got into a conversation this morning on Twitter regarding the size of some of the standing bars in Japan which prompted me to dig up some photos from when i first arrived in Japan.
More on the new bar later but this one, situated close to the Century Hyatt in Nishi Shinjuku, doesn’t look like much and it isn’t but it’s fun and there’s no danger of not meeting anyone.
Peering in you can get the idea there’s not a whole lot of spare space in there.
