Who’s Hungry?

I love Ramen! So when I saw this, I knew it would make me hungry! Time to head to Japan for a fiery treat!

Kyoto Guidebooks will tell you to visit the city’s historic temples and beautiful shrines, but when it comes to eating food, how about a restaurant dubbed “Fire Ramen“!

SoraNews24.com had the story of the Restaurant Menbaka Ichidai, which gets its nickname from its signature dish: a flaming bowl of ramen.

And what an experience to eat!

As SoraNew24 reports: Diners sit at the counter in front of the chef and are told to lean away while holding their hands behind their back so the chef can add one final ingredient to their bowl of noodles.

The restaurant first opened for business in 1984, but has been closed due to the pandemic…we can only await its reopening for more flaming dishes…

Singapore Opens!

However, the company was able to open their Singapore restaurant, keeping the classic “Fire Ramen” dish aflame!
