My First Ramen

7/10
My First Ramen

I returned to the place where I first tried ramen in Japan 4 years ago. I got the soy ramen which had a super fatty and very delicious soup. There were two pieces of pork and chicken, which were all lovely. The egg was marinated nicely and the yolk was soft. The noodles were the weakest part and were only so-so. The menma and spring onions were fine. A good average bowl of ramen and one I'm happy was my first.

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

Ramen Jiro Ikebukuro

7/10 Ramen Jiro Ikebukuro This was excellent ramen let down by my poor ordering choices. First of all the meat is great but getting the chasu was a mistake. Secondly I shouldn't have asked for garlic, there's just too much of it and the broth becomes uneatable after its all mixed in. Now the best part is the noodles which are super thick and delicious. The broth is super fatty and delicious. This combination would be great if I'd just got the normal ramen. There's also a fuck tone of bean sprouts even if you ask for normal. So this was good but I made it bad. Ramen Jiro 〒171-0022 Tōkyō-to, Toshima City, Minamiikebukuro, 2-chōme−27−17 1F 03-3980-0210 https://maps.app.goo.gl/UhcuAwHYRMZnBLRKA
