It’s official: We’re well into the rainy season and, more importantly, ramen weather. Now that the temperature feels a little cooler, it’s the perfect time to curl up with a nice, steaming bowl of soup.
If you need extra comfort on rainy days, there are restaurants that make sure you get your ramen fix in two ways.
Get a steaming bowl delivered to your doorstep…

Another vegetarian option out there is Ippudo Ramen. Their vegetarian mushroom ramen is made with a light broth, three kinds of mushroom, braised silken tofu and miso paste.
