@Exile Kiss: Thanks. Yeah, I’d be pretty excited if they offered the Toromi ramen regularly!

Hi Edjusted,

Nice post. I was happy about the Toromi special, but this new Awase seems to be a bit of a copout. Hopefully they’ll add the Toromi Ramen as a regular item.

@cutie: glad you got to try it. Maybe next time, Santouka will have something a bit more assari for you

Good review & pix, thanx for the info …….But I think that small bowl of white rice is just weird…..I went to try this limited edition ramen too this weekend, I thought the broth was too oily & salty but overall, it was a decent bowl of ramen……

@Dennis: I agree. As a general rule, the *only* thing I like at Santouka is the tokusen toroniku ramen. I’m really not impressed with anything else there. These two limited edition ramen have changed my mind though

@Dan: me too, but when I want soup *with* noodles (a renge of soup with noodles), these dinky spoons just don’t cut it. Sigh.

@Keizo: I knew it!! You must save a fortune on gas and airline tickets!

Haha! I own a door that leads to every ramen-ya in the world…

I second the more adequate soup spoons!! Even though I hate their spoons, I always forget to bring my own. Argh!

I just slurp out of the bowl. Maybe they are afraid people will pocket them. :S

Looks lovely edjusted! As much as I like Santouka I always felt there wasn’t enough differentiation between the ramens offered and I’d go through phases of feeling bored of their flavor. I hope this trend of limited editions keep up! But then again it doesn’t help me if they don’t serve it in SD.. :_(
