at Afuri Ramen Ebisu

"The citrus-shio style Afuri pioneered has been imitated across Tokyo. The Ebisu original is still the clearest expression: light chicken broth, yuzu oil, thin noodles, one piece of chashu. Nothing extra."

"Afuri's yuzu shio ramen is the counter-argument to everything Tokyo tonkotsu represents — and it's completely correct on its own terms. The chicken broth is clear and bright, the yuzu citrus is added at service so it stays fresh, and the shio (salt) base brings a lightness that makes this the ideal ramen for warm months. The noodles are thin and precise."
