Springfield ramen restaurant plans to open location in Troy

A Springfield eatery that has been described as providing the best ramen in the state has applied for a permit in Troy with the State of Ohio Division of Liquor Control.

The restaurant will be called Miso, the Japanese name for a soybean-based soup, and operate in a former furniture store near Moeller Brew Barn downtown according to Brittany Waters, general manager of Speakeasy Ramen. Her aunt, Kim Frazier, was instrumental in setting up Speakeasy and is heading up the new venue along with a chef.

Although unable to give a timeframe for its opening, Waters said Miso’s menu will feature more broth-based choices as well as ramen and sushi, although on a much bigger scale.

Last year, the national nutrition website “Eat This, Not That” put together a listing of the Best Ramen in Every State in the U.S. basing its conclusions on Yelp reviews.
