Award Winning Ramen

Award Winning Ramen

This is a fairly posh place for a ramen shop. It's still got the usual counter seating and ticket machine but the fixtures and fittings are much fancier than a usual ramen shop. Now the ramen. This is a super rich chicken soy soup. It has so much flavour and tastes fantastic. The noodles are amazing, they soak up the flavour of the soup and taste so good. I'm surprised to find wonton in here too and they taste so good. There's two types of meat, beef and chicken. The chicken is great and the beef is nice and rare too, like strips of roast pork from a Sunday dinner. My only criticism is that the egg is not cut in half but that's a pointless criticism because it's otherwise a perfect deep orange, runny egg. This has honestly been a mind opening experience. This is the best non-tonkotsu ramen I've ever had. I wanted to order another before I'd finished because I didn't want it to stop.

Salt Ramen in Shinjuku

7/10 Salt ramen in Shinjuku This was a solid flavourful soup with 3 types of delicious meat and 2 wantons. The toppings of menma and scallions were nice. The egg could have been better both in terms of marination and yolk softness. The noodles were the biggest let down for me. They were a nice thickness and firmness but lacked flavour. Overall a good ramen but didn't live up to its peers standards. 麺屋 翔 本店 7-chōme-22-34 Nishishinjuku, Shinjuku City, Tōkyō-to 160-0023 03-3364-5787 https://maps.app.goo.gl/DuBhJghxUjJFNNry8

Osaka Namba Number 1 (according to their sign)!

7/10 Osaka namba number 1 (according to their sign)! Ok, the first thing to mention here is the huge piece of pork rib. It's longer than the diameter of the bowl and super fatty. It tastes fantastic and melts in the mouth. The soup is tasty but leaning more to the average end of the scale. The noodles to are good but nothing to write home about. Overall, a solid bowl with one standout component complimented by average components.  Hanamaruken Namba Hozenji 1-chōme-2-1 Nanba, Chūō-ku, Osaka, 542-0076 06-6213-0131 https://maps.app.goo.gl/4kQzD3GUqZ9MJCFt5

Tokushima Ramen

8/10 Tokushima Ramen This is very delicious ramen. The soup is tonkotsu and with soy base and it's banging. The noodles are amazing, the best I've had in a long time. They're perfectly chewy and have a fantastic taste. The meat is tasty but in my opinion is overflavoured with soy sauce which lets it down. The raw egg is fantastic and gives a really good flavour when you eat the yolk soaked noodles. The other toppings were good too. Overall a very good bowl of ramen.
