"Is there anything more comforting than a hot bowl of ramen in the cold Boston winters? Trick question! There isn’t. Over the last few years, a handful of ramen joints have opened up in Harvard Square, but Hokkaido Ramen Santouka, also known as just Santouka, remains a staple. Don’t want to go to Harvard Square for a bowl of their delicious kara miso ramen? Don’t worry, they have locations in Back Bay and Allston, too." - Annie Harrigan
