Have you been to Ganja yet? After opening eight or so years ago, their popularity has skyrocketed. Since then, members of the Ganja family have gone on to open half a dozen other shops, most of which are in the Kawagoe area.
Kawagoe is a historic town about an hour outside of Tokyo. The original Ganja is right, next to the old Edo-era warehouses and temples, as well as the town's main train station. Hikari, well, isn't. This is one you should rent a car and drive to. If that is your thing.
The highlight is their chashu. Shredded pork, rolled into massive balls, and fried. This is good eating. I will refrain from too many ganja related quips about fried pork balls, but this shop would make a killing in Colorado.
Expect a wait, even on a weekday. The parking lot fits around 10 cars, and there were three waiting on the street for a spot. First time I've seen a line of cars for a ramen shop!
The flavors are in line with the original Ganja shop. Heavy pork tsukemen. Big fat noodles.
Make sure you get that fried pork ball!
