Michelin Star Ramen

7/10
Michelin Star Ramen

So we got our tickets at 8am this morning and now we're waiting in line at our timeslot, 12 noon. This was tasty ramen which I greatly enjoyed eating. However, I personally don't believe this was worth the hype. First of all I'm not an expert in what deserves a Michelin star but in my head it's the opposite of what good ramen is - greasy fast food. The soup was soy based and had truffle oil which was very unique although I'm not such a big fan of truffle even in European food. The noodles were soba and not the usual you get with ramen and I think that let it down as I really like ramen noodles. The meat was thin tasty strips of pork and there was a lovely egg and spring onions for toppings. The menma was long and stringy which I didn't like. Objectively this was very tasty but didn't do it for me as a bowl of ramen. Honestly I wouldn't recommend this, it's not worth the effort of getting a ticket early in the morning and then queueing again for 45 minutes to get in.

Teshikaga Ramen

7/10 Teshikaga Ramen A nice fishy bowl of ramen. The highlight for me was the noodles. They were such a deep colour and had great flavour and chewiness. The meat was barbecued pork and tasted good. The menma and spring onions were also good. Like I said, it was a fishy soup which isn't my favourite but the flavour was light and it made for a great bowl of ramen. I'd definitely eat again at one of their many stores.

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

Another Michelin Recommended Ramen

7/10 Another Michelin Recommended Ramen This is really good ramen. The best bit is the meat, it's absolutely amazing. There's 4 different types and each one is fantastic. The noodles are soba and they're really light and delicious. The soup is also really light but a bit fishy for my liking. It is really delicate and not at all a fishy soup but the fish is there and I don't like it. All of the toppings are really high quality and taste fantastic. I'm a little sad because this was exceptional ramen but that slight fish taste let it down for me. I really wanted to love it.
