Ramen Kotori

The Best Places to Eat Around the Santa Ynez Valley, According to Eater Editors | Eater LA

"This understated ramen shop in Solvang slings soul-warming bowls of soup in addition to izakaya snacks like karaage, pickles, and a surprising duo of dishes featuring local uni. On the ramen side, shoyu ramen, vegetarian miso ramen, and shoyu beef ramen are on offer, but diners can kick things up a notch with the spicy tan tan bowl, which comes with a sesame oil-infused broth, woodear mushrooms, baby bok choy, and a “chile bomb” topper. Whole uni and uni hand rolls are available, using sea urchin sourced in Santa Barbara from local fishing legend Stephanie Mutz." - Nicole Adlman
