To backtrack a bit, we split the 16-hour drive to Cardinals country into two days, staying in Lincoln the first night. We chose AmuManu Ramen Bar as our first pick. I had never been to a ramen-specific restaurant, so I was glad we picked a place that I hadn’t visited. I ordered the garlic shoyu, a bowl with chicken, mushroom, egg, cabbage, ginger, chicken soy broth and, of course, ramen. The garlic came in the form of mayu, a black garlic oil a hint of sesame. The combination was heavenly.
