Few things in this world have given me as much satisfaction as the ramen from Bones (らーめん梵's). Being only about a five minute walk from the campus bus stops, Bones is a paradise for the average college student. Granted, I am bragging about this noodle joint a tad much, but they deserve it all. I have eaten at a Michelin star ramen restaurant, and I still prefer this small shop in Saitama. In fact, I always go here at list once or twice a week. Maybe it is an addiction? Huh. Click "Read More" for a full breakdown on my typical trip to Bones. Upon walking to Bones (turn right from the university bus stops and keep walking straight), I am usually greeted by a line of customers. There is almost always a 10-15 minute wait. When the line starts getting smaller, I walk inside to purchase my ticket. I always purchase the top left option; it is a regular size ramen for 700 yen. There are also mini and large options. For me, even the regular size is a challenge to take down. To whoever said Japan has small portion sizes, you must have never eaten noodles before! Be sure to show your ticket to the workers, and resume waiting in line or at the chairs inside until they say to sit down. Even if Japanese is hard to understand, they know enough English to help. The workers will ask what toppings are desired on the order. Below are the translations if necessary:
The noodles are thick and the broth is fantastic. The meat is the best I have ever eaten on any bowl of ramen. とてもおいしい!一番! HOW I GOT THERE: Saitama University: Walk to the bus stops and turn right. Continue walking in that direction for about five minutes. MY RATING: The taste, distance, and cost for the ramen are all 10/10 for me. I have yet to find a bowl of ramen to best Bones. When I leave Japan, I think Bones will be one of the things I miss the absolute most.
