text: Roshambo Ramen galore Shaved ice Okonomiyaki Japanese beer A great Saturday nnGood food and good company on a lovely Saturday afternoon or night if you went later than me The festival lasted from am midnight and was filled with performances food and booths from local organizations Yes it was a hot and I wished they had more covered seating but that is the benefit of going in groups This way you just have to rotate who is going to get the food and who is going to hold the fort down in the shade nnLogistics Tickets were at the door for presale at local shops and restaurants around the valley This event was also very family friendly and free for children and under Once you got in you there was a line to buy tickets for Ramen soda and beer Warning though the beer was cheaper from the non Ramen booths From pm to pm this line was super super long but after pm it definitely died down If you wanted other food like skewers and Okonomiyaki Japanese pancake no ticket required just good old hard cashnnHiromaru By far the longest of the Ramen lines and for good reason It has a very rich and creamy broth without being overpowering The noodles were on the thinner side which I personally like because I feel like I get more broth with what I am eating This one did steal the show in most everyone is heart They are originally from Japan but the flyers said that they were going to open a shop here in Vegas and I will be a future customer for surennIroha Another festival favorite They had the second longest line Their noodles were much thicker and their broth had a little more spice to it The servers warned us that it was spicy but I did not think it was bad at all nnVegetable Okonomiyaki Lots of fillings heavy on the pickled ginger and still squishy on the inside I like it but if you a super crispy pancake this might not have fit your fancynnI had a wonderful time eating and drink from the different booths hanging out with friends and even my failed attempts at Roshambo rock paper scissors to win gift certificates for local restaurants I am pretty sure I will be back next year
