At the end of Jas' hen do weekend in Berlin when we thought we couldn't be more hungover, we stumbled on a hidden gem that cheered us right up. A little Japanese Ramen noodle bar called
Cocolo was tucked away in a little sidestreet centrally near Rosenthaler Platz and Oranienburger Str area. Though it had a German owner, the staff are all Japanese and it felt like a little piece of Tokyo in Berlin. The small menu had a focused ramen selection with classics like Miso (vegetarian), Shoyu (soy), Shio (salt), Tonkatsu (pork). Tonkatsu was the natural choice, and the broth was deep, rich, and intense in a way that could cheer up anyone caught in the rain. Who would've thought?
