Kodawari Ramen

"I'm turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so..." Do you remember that 80's song? This is how I feel when I visit my favorite Japanese restaurants in Paris.

Kodawari Ramen is one of them and it is high on the list! From the outside, you will see a very unusual decor: it looks like the Tsukiji fish market in Tokyo! And once you enter, it will sound like that place! They have fish markets sound recordings playing through the speakers... What a cool idea!

But the main reason to go there is the food and it is really good! Recently I went twice, first I had lobster ramen, then white fish ramen. The lobster is killer! Make sure you leave some room for dessert: miso ice cream with sweet pumpkin seeds... It may not look pretty on the picture but I forgot my name!

They have another location on the left bank decorated like a "Yokocho" which is an alleyway with lots of tiny restaurants. Enjoy!
