Hmm, restaurants from Japan have opened locations in SF though. E.g. Hinodeya, Mensho, Tsuta. Did you feel even those weren't authentic? Similarly, Crystal J

- baby 6y agoThey only do fat broth, when I was in Japan broth would be much lighter I found, here I die after a bowl of ramen.
- yibg 6y agoNot like there is a single type of broth in japan. There are really light and really rich thick ones in japan too.
- baby 6y agoYeah, but in the US I often find that this is the most common style
- spike021 6y agoThis is all dependent on style. I went to many places in Japan where it was easy to get very fatty, dense bowls. I can remember specifically a very small hole-in-the-wall place in Yokohama that seats maybe 8-10 people (although I suppose that's par for the course for ramen shops). You could choose how rich you wanted the broth to be. There are many different preparation styles.
- swampthing 6y agoHinodeya broth was about as light as you can get. And I have had equally fatty broth in Japan.
