Somehow Hide Chan Ramen on 52nd Street between 2nd & 3rd Avenues in Manhattan only gets 3 Yelp stars. Yet this sister to Totto Ramen has the single best bowl of ramen I’ve ever had in my life … scallion ramen with buta kakuni (marinated pork belly). And even better, they have 4 different shochus available.
I had the Ikkomon honkaku imo shochu. This Earthy imo went very well with scallion ramen.
The oyuwari shochu in the stone glass (pictured) was a very relaxing finish to a very long work-day.
