And then on February 8, theJapan Societywill host Ramen Rules New York ($20). Following a discussion between Masahiro Nakano of theShinyokohama Ramen Museum(yes, there’s a ramen museum) and recipe wizard J. Kenji Lopez-Alt, you’ll get to sample soy- and miso-based soups as well as noodles of various thicknesses. IfRamen Girlcan master this stuff, anyone can!
