Full disclosure: when this ramen spot opened up two blocks away from my house it got me pretty jazzed. After all, winter has finally arrived, and each day is colder than the last, so what’s better than hot soup? That’s where Samurai Papa comes in. Samurai Papa is sister restaurant to Bozu, Momo Sushi Shack, Brooklyn Ball Factory, and Samurai Mama (surprise!), continuing owner Makoto Suzuki’s grand scheme of supplying the neighborhood with all our Japanese culinary desires.
