But, the food court in Mitsuwa is always open in the afternoon! lol. I was here 2pm today and there is barely a line for Santouka (山頭火). Unfortunately Shio ramen was out of soup, which made me switched to miso. Add an boiled egg on the side.
Although it is thought to be fast service, a normal 15-20 minute wait was normal at santouka (maybe only I am getting that treatment? ha). In the bowl there are chashu, green onion, bamboo shoot and the extra egg I ordered. The soup is more of a pork bone (tonkotsu) based with miso boiled in. Although the soup is not as dense and flavorful as some other ramen places, it is easy to take in and the miso flavor would slowly takes effect. The chashu's flavor is compatible with the soup as well with the soup flavor more dominent. The less saltiness and the taste of this bowl might be tailored toward of an international taste.
Wanted also to post the $1 bucks oyster happy hour at the B in SF. I did wish the oyster was bigger though. lol..
