Dumbbells and Drama

We have some good news for Ramen lovers here in Pune- Shizusan, the friendly neighbourhood fusion restaurant has introduced a new Ramen menu last July, and from what I’ve seen, heard and experienced, people have a lot to thank Shizusan for.

Shizusan, the hipster mascot, is back from his tour of East Asia, and he’s got with him 10 new versions of Ramen. Okay maybe 2 new ramen varieties and 8 totally off-beat variations, but hey, we are loving it! Here’s what’s in store for you Pune. At Rs. 445/- for a veg bowl and Rs. 495/- for a non veg bowl, there’s an entire experience that’s calling out to you. An experience I’d suggest you didn’t miss.

The Kimchi Ramen is made with rice noodles, gochujang stock and is topped with beans, roasted corn and kimchi.

Peking Duck Ramen has a sweet & salty hoisin broth with egg noodles topped with crispy sliced Peking duck , fried wonton noodles and spinach.

 

My favorites? Difficult to pick one. Though I could definitely recommend the Peking Duck Bowl. I’m going back here. And I’d strongly nominate a bowl of hot soupy noodles for comfort food this season. You need to experience it to believe it.

Happy eating!
