A ramen shop in Tokyo is shaking up its menu with a bizzare new item: Chunks of chocolate float in the dark soy broth of Mensho Tokyo’s chocolate ramen, a special menu item that was introduced just in time for Valentine’s Day. The inclusion of chocolate is not exactly subtle, but according to one taste tester, the combo is actually quite tasty.
