We think the biggest food trend in Seattle for 2015 is ramen. We already saw a huge outbreak on the Eastside (Bellevue) with four ramen shops opening within a year in 2014 shining light to traditionalists in the Seattle area such as Tsukushinbo, Aloha Ramen, Yoroshiku and others alike. “Foodies” and food fetishists love the detail and craft of the broth process, noodle texture, a perfect soft boil egg and the housemade dashi that gives it the umami punch of flavor in every slurp.
Here is our list of restaurants that maintain the art of ramen making.
