I had very high expectations for eating at the Yokohama Ramen Museum. Oh, I suppose I had other reasons for visiting Yokohama, like the 150th Anniversary of the opening of the Port of Yokohama (a fairly extensive and impressive...

Last I was there, in 2005, I ate as many bowls as I could stand of the chasiu miso ramen at stand #3, Keyaki Ramen (I also have eaten at the mind-blowing original in Sapporo). The museum's website English version says that Keyaki...
