- Logan Poser Ramen, version two
I’ve been working (and photographing) my way through the city’s ramen, now that it is the hippest thing to eat in the city and will be for at least another month. The other night I went to eat and photograph Yusho’s Logan Poser Ramen, a dish whose name has only become more apropos with time. I had it once, long ago, but apparently merely ate it, didn’t photograph it, so I didn’t remember exactly what it looked like (here’s a pic). But I knew one thing for certain this time around: it was different. Which made sense, because the menu quietly referred to it as “Logan Poser Ramen 2.”
There are some other fall-type vegetables in there, including some house-made Asian pickles and some slices of purple beet. As far as ramen goes, I’m a permissive traditionalist, I’m all for doing it the old time-honored way, unless you have a better idea. There are some wack-sounding things out there (like the Italian beef ramen at Ani, which is located in the old Chizakaya space), but with Logan Poser Ramen, Yusho aimed for the right balance between traditional ramen and their own twists. With version 2.0, they’ve finally gotten there.
