Yoshinoya is acquiring Ichiban Honbu, an Osaka-based ramen chain with 189 stores. Ichiban Honbu is known for their 180-yen (about a buck-fifty!!) “Bikkuri Ramen,” or “surprise ramen.” Hmm…could this mean you’ll soon be able to go to Yoshinoya for a beef bowl *and* and bowl of ramen? Sigh…I can dream, can’t I?

This would be sooo awesome…my eating expenses would be wayyy down. Are there any Ichiban Honbu’s in the LA area? what’s the surprise in the “surprise ramen?”
