Soup, Izakaya, Terrace, Japanese

With Good Vibes, Scrumptious Ramen And Well-Curated Sake Collection, Nojo Has It All Nojo greets its guests with an open-air terrace with standing room where visitors can chill over beers and cocktails during happy hours. The interior of Nojo is a handsome square space, with an open kitchen area set with bar seating. The menu serves a generous range of izakaya treats, some with a Western twist; but, more importantly, standards and execution are satisfying. We began our meal with the Nojo house-made umami pickles, where a mélange of fresh seasonal vegetables are quick pickled with vinegar, salt, and dashi to bring complexity. Unlike most popular ramen shops with their proud gravy-like pork bone soup bases, Nojo stood out with their paitan-style chicken ramen, where the broth base was prepared with mainly chicken, simmered for hours while breaking down the birds’ fat into liquid richness. Signature dishes Nojo’s spicy dandan Bagna cauda in Kyoto-style miso The myoga, or ginger buds the fried Japanese bread
