A bowl of the Obon ramen with roasted pork shoulder and pork belly for $11.75.

Yes, you can slurp it! But if you eat this ramen too fast, you'll miss the finer details, like the delicate pork broth, the thin strings of dried red chiles and the spiral-swiped narutomaki cut into pinwheels of fishy flavor. Obon's chef Paulo Im is painstakingly precise in his contemporary Japanese and Korean dishes, but the signature Obon ramen takes the cake. Maybe it's just cold outside, but I'm super pumped you can get a bowl this good downtown. 350 E. Congress St., 520-485-3590
