Menu
The basic menu is
Ajitama Ramen (Ramen with Seasoned Egg) 1,200 yen
This time I ordered “Ajitama Ramen (Ramen with Seasoned Egg) (1,200 yen)”.
When you think of ramen in Kumamoto, you think of tonkotsu ramen.
When you think of tonkotsu ramen, many people think of Hakata, but tonkotsu ramen is famous not only in Hakata and Kumamoto but also in Kyushu.
However, the only places I've personally visited in Kyushu are Fukuoka and Kumamoto...
So let's have it.
Soup
First, let's start with the soup.
Personally, I felt it was quite thin.
You can feel the faint flavor of pork bones and the saltiness from the kaeshi.
Although the ramen is characterized by its meridian oil, my tongue couldn't really detect the flavor of the meridian oil.
Noodles
The noodles are straight, thin noodles.
It has a crunchy texture.
When you chew it, you can really feel the taste of wheat.
Chashu (Braised Pork)
There are two thickly sliced pieces of chashu.
I'm glad that it comes with 2 pieces of thickly sliced char siu.
On the other hand, I personally felt the pig's quirks quite a bit.
Flavored egg
It's a flavored egg.
For better or worse, it tasted normal.
Impressions and Rating
『Haorai Ramen” in “Taste”ball ramen” I received it.
Unfortunately, it didn't suit me personally.
Kumamoto ramen often feels bland to my taste.
『KuroteiWhen I first visited ``, I felt that the taste was bland.
When I visited Kurotei for the second time, I had caught a cold just before and was recovering from illness, so I thought it was delicious and had a strong taste, perhaps because I had eaten something with a lighter flavor.
Lately, I've been eating a lot of strong flavored ramen, so maybe that has something to do with it.
To be more frank, both the soup and noodles this time felt like Marutai's stick ramen.
Coincidentally, the bar ramen has Kumamoto's maa oil flavor.
Personally, if you're going to spend 1,200 yen, I think you'll be happier if you buy 4 to 5 bags of this stick ramen.
This is just my opinion based on my personal taste, which prefers strong flavors, but unfortunately this cup did not suit my tastes.
