Hey everyone! Sorry it’s been a while since our last post. But we are ready to present some fresh new posts from our trip to Taiwan and Malaysia so stick with us Tokyo-Narita Airport was the first stop. We were so happy to step off the plane,after suffering that looong flight and mushy airplane food. The first thing we saw was a little japanese cafe.

Amanda and I were seeing Wicked nearby and we decided to make it a dinner + show date:both were amazing Totto specializes in chicken-broth ramen called Chicken Paitan,which is lighter and clearer than the other popular ramen broth called Pork Tonkotsu made from pork bones. What made me happy was seeing their giant trashcan-sized stockpots on the fire behind the counter,filled to the top with chicken and bones. If you like things spicy,you can make this tasty chicken broth even better by getting it “Spicy”with a dollop of spicy chili sauce,or “Extreme Spicy”where they just give you a whole dish of the chili sauce on the side. You’ve been warned…the spiciness builds! All in all,I would recommend this place over Ippudo. This place is cheaper,doesn’t have ridiculous waits,and I personally like the lighter chicken paitan broth over the cloudy pork tonkotsu broth. Totto’s menu options might be a little sparse compared to Ippudo,but when you’ve got a hankering for ramen,does it really matter what else is on the menu?
