I've introduced the most popular ramen place in NYC, Ippudo, in my blog before, but today I want to tell you my favorite ramen place. It's called Ramen Misoya in East Village. Why is it my favorite? Well, I love the texture of their noddles and the soup that goes together.
Misoya's basic soup is miso, but they offer three kinds of miso broth. The first one is the kome miso, which is the regular miso made out of rice. Then there's the mame miso which is made out of beans. The soup has more richness compared to the kome miso. The last one is the shiro miso which is a little lighter than the previous two misos.
I like the kome miso because it has that richness of the miso but not too much, and is not too light compared to the shiro miso. The noodles are think and a little crinkly, which allows the soup to cling onto the noodle, allowing you to really taste the soup while you enjoy the chewiness of the noodle.
The funny part of the ramens here are that they put french fries on toppings, which is very rare in ramen. I guess that's Misoya's originality, which seemed funny at first, but once you have that bowl of ramen, you will be surprised how miso soup and noodles and french fries go really well together. Also, if you are a fan of thick noodles, this is the place for you.
