Asakusa Miso Ramen - Noriaki Bibi
Bibi (浅草 熟成味噌らーめん のりあき・美々) is a cozy spot tucked away in Tokyo's Asakusa neighborhood. The menu, much like the space, is simple and focused — you have the choice between miso ramen and spicy miso ramen.
No need to worry, the spiciness is just right.
They blend four types of miso from Niigata to support a soup made from slow-cooked pork and chicken bones. The soup is richly oily, thanks to pork lard and pork back fat as well. Everything is stir-fried, adding a delightful smokiness to every bite in this hearty bowl.
The toppings are just as flavorful as the soup. Yuzu citrus and ginger offer a refreshing contrast to the rich, oily broth. Thick noodles complete the bowl.
More Background Info
Bibi's owner trained at the Keisuke ramen group for many years before venturing off on his own. Bibi has bagged a number of awards since opening, including being named one of Tokyo's best new ramen shops in TRY magazine.
The awards I'm sure will continue to pile up.
