3rd Genji
Fall Fes & Ramen Contest (Sunday, Oct. 16):Explore an array of Japanese ramen styles at this tasting extravaganza, part of this fall’s Japan Block Fair on the Upper West Side. Ramen shops hailing from New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and even Japan will go head to head to see who would be crowned the ultimate champion – as voted on by Fes attendees. All voting entries will qualify entrants to enter in a sweepstakes to win a trip to Japan for two, as sponsored by Amnet, in collaboration with the Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO) and American Airlines. We'll also have many other types of delicious Japanese cuisine and Japanese product available. We are seeking food vendors that represent a wide range of Japanese flavors, New York local delicacies, and in between so that our guests can experience as much as possible. -Ramen restaurant from Japan- 175 Deno (Hokkaido Prefecture, Japan) Menya Jiro (Kagoshima Prefecture Japan) -Ramen restaurant from NY,NJ,PA Benkei Ramen / Kouji-miso kale ramen Nishida shoten / Pork chicken paitan soup Kishuya Ramen Noodle Bar / Ume-shio ramen Mew men / Chicken broth shoyu ramen genji ramen / vegetarian ramen Shuya Cafe de Ramen / seafood ramen Batten ramen Spicy miso tonkotsu ramen Ramen murakami redwine butter shoyu ramen Uminoie / Flying fish broth shoyu ramen Zen 6 / ramen burger -Japanese food and product- Takoyaki / Karl's Ball Okonomiyaki / Oconomi Yakisoba / Uminoie NY maze gohan / Maekawa's Kitchen Izakaya menu / Teineiya Onigiri / Yamas Japan Dango / Dangoya Masa Mochi filled waffle / Serina Ocha / Ichikawa Coffee & Japanese Handcrafts/ Harmony of shining women foundation Curry udon / Resobox Tenugui / Wuhao Yo-Yo / Amnet Maekake / Anthing Kids clothing / Mizudama Kimono / Kaede NYC Sushi Pillows / Sushi designs New york Face art / Tanaka Taisan Nijiya / Sushi Britto &more photo by Kohei Kawashima
