Walking towards Kyushu Jangara Ramen Restaurant, where we planned to have an early lunch. Bloggers claimed that the soup base is delicious and the queue is long. So we decided to have early lunch. They open at 10am on Sundays.
Colourful Shop Front and its many colourful attractive advertisements and menus. Surprisingly, there was no long queue. It was almost 11am. The shop is on the 2nd level.
Many colourful and cute menus just outside the entrance to the shop, on the 2nd level.

Cute menu at counter.
Hubby and I ordered the popular Kyushu Jangara Ramen. My 2 children also placed the same order but with additional ingredients.
Kyushu Jangara Ramen - The soup base is thick and tasty. A bit on the salty side. I added water to dilute the salt level. This Ramen is much better than the Ramen at 骨武.
After lunch, made our way to Meji Jingu Shrine. Spotted Italian Tomato shop, the same shop which we had breakfast at Sardonyx Hotel. This is a branch in Harajuku. It has many branches in Tokyo.
