The best ramen I've ever eaten

 I recently went to eat at Ramen Yokocho, an alley in downtown Sapporo where all the restaurants serve this specialty. I went armed with my chronic skepticism, thinking it was quite possible that I was going to be served a soup vulgar enough to satisfy my voracity.

I got a pleasant surprise. A first taste of the noodles was enough to determine that this was the best ramen I've ever eaten in my life. It was Sapporo ramen, of course. That is, the noodles floating in a rich beef broth with a miso base, vegetables and pork slices. 

Simply sublime.
