Umami Ramen

Unable to find ramen that pleased her Japanese palate, Tokyo expat Ayumi Koga opened her own ramen joint. Light filled and casual, it's never short of fans, slurping densely flavoured broth simmered for 10 hours. Try the 'smokey black' version, served with homemade black garlic oil. Servings aren't huge, so order a side of gyoza (the vegetable and prawn options are the standouts).
