BASSANOVA Bassanova has reached almost cult noodle status internationally.. ‘Basa’ as it’s affectionately called, is the perfect example of how the Japanese can take inspiration from foreign influences and come up with something unique and wonderful but still very much Japanese. Their green curry ramen is a prime example of this. Even though it oozes creamy Thai flavours and spices, the base of the broth retains a strong tonkotsu essence that is the base of all ramen. The guys in the open kitchen are also super friendly. Give it a go! 1-4-18 Hanegi Setagaya-ku, Tokyo
