And you know what that means? Cold weather is upon us; well for the most part at least, and I am here for it! Now, I am not talking about the snow, or all the mess that comes along with it. I am talking about sweater weather, Halloween, and my personal favorite, soup season. One of my favorite things to do on a nice fall day is to have noodle soup. I happened to be at Pike and Rose in North Bethesda recently, so I figured why not stop by one the nearby Ramen shops while I was there too, JINYA Ramen Bar.

I don’t mean to brag about having a good time, except for when it comes to great food. But in all seriousness…. Have you been to JINYA? I was starving, so I started with the Spicy Tuna and Salmon Cones, which I thought were a great, light choice. They had a nice crunchy shell and were not over done with the spiciness either.  

Now, for the ramen! JINYA has quite a selection of ramen on their menu, from traditional style tonkotsu, all the way to vegan and gluten-free options; you really cannot go wrong! I opted in for the JINYA Tonkotsu Black ramen, and it did not disappoint. This was a pork broth base, that had a nice garlicy flavor to it, (which is why I ordered it, I love garlic!), and if you like eggs, make sure to get your ramen with a seasoned, soft-boiled egg.

All in all, I had a really nice experience here at JINYA, and if you’re ever in the mood for some tasty ramen, you should check them out. I know I will certainly be back! What is your opinion on ramen? Do you like JINYA or have you tried something better? Let me know, so I can check them out next!
