My first time eating out in 2021. Spicy tantan ramen from @tonchinnewyork. Heated outdoor dining. It’s been so long since I had this bowl. So rich, spicy and comforting. 🍜🍜🍜🍜🍜 #tantanmen #ramen #ramenaddict #ramenlover #ramennoodles (at Tonchin New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLxBag3hpJc/?igshid=1jiksl5pnvscc

2020 was the worst year in recent history. Restaurants especially ramen shops took a big hit from the Covid-19 pandemic. I was supposed to go back to Japan this year to eat ramen but of course that didn’t happen. So I didn’t really get to eat at a lot of ramen or check out a lot of new shops this year. 2020 was the year of ramen kits. Lots of ramen shops in Japan and the US started offering ramen kits to stay afloat. Some more successful than others. Anyway here are my top nine bowls of ramen I had in 2020: 1. American wagyu beef miso by @iticoro 2. Kitakata shoyu by @gorinramen 3. Jiro by @butayamabutako 4. Spicy green curry paitan by @ramenshacknyc 5. Shoyu kit by @ramen_culture 6. Shoyu kit by @goramen 7. Mazesoba kit by @ramen_culture 8. Tsukemen kit by @goramen 9. Classic Tokyo Tonkotsu kit by @tonchinnewyork #ramen #ramenaddict #ramenlover #ramennoodles #topnine2020 https://www.instagram.com/p/CJd2iRPjEax/?igshid=p6lwpdhjkgq1

Trying out @ramen_culture’s mazesoba ramen kit. The kit comes with noodles, special aroma oil with tare, pork belly, menma, nori flakes, scallions, and onsen tomago. I added chorizo, minced garlic, and fish powder. This was seriously good but prepare for a nice nap afterwards. 🍜🍜🍜🍜🍜 #mazesoba #ramen #ramenaddict #ramenlover #ramennoodles #ramen_cp

Nibo shoyu ramen kit by @shimamotonoodle @ramenshacknyc. @goramen making another comeback after a long hiatus. Absolutely delicious as always. Strong niboshi flavor but I felt the shoyu tare could have been deeper. 🍜🍜🍜🍜🍜 #niboshi #shoyu #ramen #ramenaddict #ramenlover #ramennoodles #ramen_cp https://www.instagram.com/p/CGpw5QmDa9F/?igshid=1oawd7sfqq56

My first time dining out during the pandemic. I was craving some tonkotsu and decided to hit up Tabetomo for a bowl of their tonktosu jiro ramen. It satisfied my tonktosu craving but didn't quite have that jiro flavor. Oh well. 🍜🍜🍜🍜 #tonkotsu #jiro #ramen #ramennoodles #ramenaddict #ramenlover #ramen_cp (at TabeTomo) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGK9BkoDtt4/?igshid=18wpyhmueze7w
