The ramen world’s latest buzz is noodles for the ladies. Riding the trend is Italian celeb chef Kazuo Ishizuka and his noodle bar Ayumi. Continuing the cross-cultural noodle exchange first instigated by Marco Polo all those years ago, Ishiyuki brings Mediterranean flair to Chinese staples. To wit: ‘Italian-style White Ramen’ (¥980), which pointedly marries al dente noodles and prosciutto in a creamy white ramen broth. The store’s modern interior cuts a fashionable atmosphere, and is perfect for a date with girlfriends or impressing that guy from the office.
