text: This place has surprisingly good ramen given that it is in the middle if the Midwest Coming from California it was a bit disconcerting to be in a Japanese restaurant and not see a single Asian worker but I guess that is just the way it is in the Midwest nnI have been twice in two different trips to Madison and the ramen was consistent both times Not overly salty decent depth to the broth and springy noodles not mushy or soggy Edemame we good slightly too salty though The poke salad was fresh and I lived to tell about it the next day Always a good thing when dealing with raw fish nnBathroom was clean always a plus and the drink menu was pretty extensive though I only had a beer
