Sora no iro's style is to make ramen that is very friendly to both male and female customers. The shops are open and clean, with a lot of limited, experimental options. They also offer a cheap and frequently changing smoothie - this one made with apple, mustard greens, and kiwi - to start your experience. Very healthy!
Hearts ordered the shio niboshi soba. Very zen.

A mix between Okinawa soki soba and shio ramen, this is a bowl that goes down easy. Lots of interesting toppings here, from the aonori and kamaboko, to the excellent chicken chashu and Okinawa-style soki pork cartilage. Very plentiful.
It's a big bowl, but even the deluxe version isn't a problem. Very light and slurpable.
I ordered the kinoko veggie soba, which is their mushroom and vegetable ramen. Very colorful.

The bowl is also pretty wild, topped with prosciutto, greens, fried tofu, and chopped paprika. The soup is creamy and tastes like the kind of rich mushroom soup served at French restaurants, but it's smooth and lighter than you would think. Very drinkable.
The noodles are amazing, mixing mushroom paste into the flour to make a sort of mushroom pasta! However, this bowl still retains the essence of ramen. Very respectable.
After you finish your noodles, you get a small portion or rice topped with burnt cheese. Pour your soup in and, yes, you have a mushroom risotto! Very clever.
Miyazaki-san at Sora no iro has crafted another winner that demolishes what we traditionally consider ramen. Any women resistant to ramen should give this place a try; ramen is very good for you!
