The search for the next bowl of Ramen is a calling that StringGirl relishes in our travels. However, we do face disappointment from time to time. This is not one of those disappointing times.
Brazil is famous for its Japanese population going back to the early 1900's, and represent the largest population of Japanese outside of Japan.

The place was hopping with a lively crowd outside the door waiting to get in. But as StringGirl only takes up little space a seat for one at the counter was perfect.

Managing the Portuguese only menu was a handful, we did after a moment manage to get the Engish speaker on the floor to be able to help with the menu. We were a little disappointed to find that the Tantanmen Spicy Ramen had been removed from the menu, though.

After deciding to have the spicy chicken wings and curry ramen, we settled in and did the annoying picture taking thing. Gladly the staff loved meeting StringGirl and wanted to exchange IG handles and follow each other.
