Billed as a miso ramen with “impact”, Kai was on my list. In fact, that’s the most important aspect of miso for me. You want a bit of a shock when you first sip that soup. As the overused phrase goes; No Impact, No Life. Or something like that.

After a midday lesson, I raced my student here. Him on the train, and me on the bicycle. Arriving a few minutes early, I circled the block to find about 4 or 5 ramen shops with lines out the door. Good sign… for the neighborhood. Kai had no line. Bad sign… for the shop. But the fact that it’s a bit of an adventure to find this shop (the door is a bit nondescript) might affect it’s popularity. Let’s hope that’s the case.

At the first taste, this shop should have a line. The shops original 3 miso blend is very dark and, when mixed with the fishy stock, makes for that desired impact. The pile of onion gives a sweetness to the whole thing. All in all, not the most amazing miso, but for someone who has to try them all, you won’t regret it.

On the way home I noticed this! How sad, that shop was cool!
