I picked up this bowl of instant noodles last time I was in Japan. I've never eaten at AFURI in Tokyo, but I've had some citrusy yuzu ramen before. AFURI is best known in Japan for its signature yuzu ramen—a refreshing twist on traditional ramen that balances light chicken-based broth with the bright, citrusy kick of yuzu.Founded near Mount Afuri in Kanagawa and later expanding to Tokyo’s Ebisu in 2003, AFURI has built a cult following for its shio ramen infused with yuzu, offering a delicate yet complex flavor that stands apart from heavier tonkotsu styles.3/4 view of the bowl. It is bright yellow in colour to match their logo
