Menya Sho Honten 麺屋翔 新宿本店@Tokyo Shinjuku ★

Popular Chicken Ramen Restaurant. Was trying to get Ramen with Oyster Soup Stock, but I mixed up the same restaurant name and went to this Chicken Ramen restaurant instead (should have consulted Ramen Shawn beforehand). I tried the White Dan Dan Noodles, which just started 11/18/24, served for a limited time, and limited to 15 bowls per day. I wanted to add an Egg, but I misunderstood the Japanese and ended up adding more noodles.
