On a rare snowy and icy evening in Charlotte, we ventured out found this place open for service. A prefect night for some good ramen.
We started with Kakuni Buns (smoked pork belly buns) - these were very well done: rich, meaty, a bit of sweetness. So good.
Also, started with Ika Sugatayaki - grilled whole squid - very nice with a good char
Takoyaki - Deep fried ball-shaped filled with minced or diced octopus - not my favorite but I am a Carolina boy.... (old man, whatever!)
The Miso Ramen was the census favorite even over the Tonkatu (pork bone broth) and Shio (salted chicken broth)
They server Hitachino Nest brand brews including the Hitachino Nest Extra High (XH) which matches with sushi so nicely. Plus we tried some of the Japanese whiskey which I would recommend again to any whiskey drinkers with an open mind and good palette.
