    Yaba Misen stands as the spiritual home of Nagoya's spicy Taiwan Ramen four minutes south of Yaba-cho Station. Wok-fried ground pork seasoned with bird's eye chilies and whole cloves of crushed garlic forms a fiery red crown over clear chicken soy broth. Straight noodles absorb the tongue-scorching chili broth.
