Dosukoi Japanese Ramen @ Fremantle Market

Japanese ramen has become an international dish that you can find it almost everywhere you go and not necessarily just in Japan. However, to try a true authentic ramen you must make sure that it is prepared by a Japanese. And there is exactly one such place not in Japan but in Australia's popular Fremantle Market.

Dosukoi Ramen is located in stall number 7 of the historic Fremantle Market. The owner of this tiny little stall doesn't encourage his customers to takeaway because the noodles will turn soft and soggy after 5 minutes. So the best way to taste this dish is to dine in. Such is his passion in his dish. However it is a challenge to dine in especially during weekends' peak hours as the small stall only has 13 bar-type seating. It is a common sight to find a long queue of people waiting to pay for their orders; get a ticket and leave their mobile phone numbers. They will then wander off within the market waiting for an SMS from Dosukoi asking them to get back to the stall and dine. If you have eaten there before, you will surely agree that it is worth the wait.

The ramen comes with traditional pork bone stock (Tonkotsu) with soy sauce (Shoyu) or Miso flavouring. Alternatively if you don't like ramen, you can go for either Soba or Udon with fish stock base.  

Dosukoi Ramen does not only fulfill your gastronomical satisfaction but you would also find food for thought in the form of 2 poems by Takayama Soramaru hanging at one side of the wall:

"After ego is gone, true essence is left. Me as I am, the world as it is, just are."

"Leaving on a journey, time begins to slow. One day I will be forgotten."
