October marked the one year anniversary of JETAA Toronto’s Ramen Romp, which was celebrated with style at Raijin Ramen and Izakaya. In total, nine ramen enthusiasts came out on a rainy fall night to slurp on some delicious noodles. There were also quite a few new faces, including some freshly returned JET participants!
