Hamura's has definitely gone under the microscope thanks to James Beard, but despite the yay or nay opinions, for me it is simply a place to feel at home. I've actually seen visitors turn around and leave when they realized it wasn't anything like their ramen in SF...what a pity. There's another place around the corner, sort of, (Kako's Saimin - next to the Toyota dealership on Rice Street), and they dish up saimin too but I prefer Hamura's rounded strands as opposed to the flat, straight-cut noodles at Kako's. Boy do I miss home right now. Regarding the eggfruit....uh-oh. I brought back 2 seeds with me and they are in potting soil next to a south window. Either I'll end up giving them to a nursery who specializes in tropical plants or else this one will simple turn out as an ornamental plant. I can only hope....
