Nagoya’s Taiwan-style ramen combines slow-stewed chicken broth with coarsely chopped chili peppers and plenty of garlic. Ground beef umami infuses the broth, as well, and the expansive flavor is habit-forming. In addition to ramen, the shop offers various small sides, and spreading a few out on the table along with some bottles of beer recreates the feel of a Taiwan night market.
