There's no denying the wave of popularity that Japanese ramen has stormed throughout Las Vegas in the past few years. And I'm sure many have their personal favorites by now. So if you share that love of rich broth, fresh noodles, and a slew of vegetables topped with a soft-boiled egg, 1) you're not alone and 2) you're in luck. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.
This Saturday, the Rio is hosting Las Vegas' very own Ramen Yokocho Fest on their parking lot. Bringing with them a great mix of ramen masters from Vegas to Japan, each bowl of ramen is $7 flat. Entry to the festival is $5 for early admission and $8 at the door. Chris and I bought our early tickets at Curry Zen, a Japanese curry spot just doors down from the well-loved Monta.
By gaining access to the ramen festival, you also get access into the Japanese Aki Matsuri cultural festival. You'll see everything from live performances to a cosplay contest. And apparently the 2013 Miss Nevada will be there.
