The restauarnt has a really warn out and rustic design. I was told the Japanese word to describe it is ajiga aru, "to have flavour"

The Thai green curry ramen was incredible at Bassanova Ramen Shindaita in Setagaya-ku Tokyo

My friend had the niku (meat) ramen so I'll have to return and try it too

Ramen is one of Japan’s more famous dishes and restaurants can be found on pretty much every street and even in major the stations. Even though it’s a delicious dish, with it being so common there is less room for variety and most restaurants serve similar styles. There is however one restaurant that stands leagues above the rest. Bassanova in Setagaya-ku is in one word: incredible. Though serving tradition style ramen such as shouyu for example, Bassanova juxtaposes world foods with Japanese cuisine and the outcome is superb. One of the restaurant’s well-known dishes is the Thai green curry ramen so I had to try it when I visited. Rather then me trying to explain how good it was you should go and find out for yourselves.
