This has become the must order item here at Tampopo - This never looks anything close to the type of ramen that I would have readily order. Plain as it may look, the stock is full of chicken collagen and the simple sweetness of chicken soup. The magical touch comes with the Japanese herb (rocket?) that gives it that citrus fragrance, which instantly appeal to your palate. No wonder they say, the smell (in this case the citrus smell) comes before the taste.
