Humanity is all about noodles and esawada
“” opened in Ikebukuro on June 29, 2024.Humanity is all about noodles and esawada” is finally here.
This restaurant is a collaboration between Osaka's famous restaurant, Humanity Minna Noodles, and Chinese restaurant Es Sawada, which has earned one Michelin star.
When it first opened, there was a long line, so I avoided it, but after about half a year, things have finally calmed down, so I decided to give it a visit.
The shop is almost right in front of you when you exit from Exit C1 near Ikebukuro Station's Fukutoshin Line.
It faces the main street, so I don't think you can get lost.
This time, I visited around 2:30 pm on a holiday, outside of lunch time, so I was able to get in without waiting.
However, the restaurant is almost full, which shows that it is very popular.

Orders are made orally to the store staff.
Pay at the cashier after your meal with the slip in hand.
Payment methods include cash, credit cards, various electronic money, and QR code payments.
When ordering, tell the store clerk,Is it your first time?” When asked, “first time” and they will explain the menu to you in detail.
The menu basically has three types of ramen, rice-based dishes such as fried rice and rice bowls, and the unusual thing is that they have dim sum.
Dim sum is not Gyoza (Dumplings) but xiaolongbao etc.
This time, I would like to recommend “macroSawada Thickly sliced pork pork (1,280 yen)I ordered only ``.
The default is “macroSawada thinly sliced pork chashu (980 yen)' So I'm glad I chose this one. .
I apologize for having to explain so much, so I paid an extra 300 yen to have it sliced thickly.
The rice bowl arrives in just over 5 minutes after ordering.
Let's get it then.
Soup
Since it is a shellfish soup stock, I felt a succinic acid-based flavor similar to clams and clams.
I also felt the sweetness of the vegetables.
Kaeshi itself is made with soy sauce, giving the impression that it is an elegant ramen with a stronger flavor of the soup stock than Kaeshi.
Noodles
The noodles are straight type, ranging from thin to medium thick noodles.
Contains whole grain flour.
It has a smooth slurping sensation and is chewy when chewed, with a rich wheat flavor.
This also gives the impression of being a high quality ramen.
In terms of volume, I think it's a little small for lunch if you just eat it alone.
On the menu ``Aedama (Seasoned Extra Noodles) (250 yen)I think it would be better to adjust it to a rice-based menu.
chicken char siu
Char siu made from chicken breast cooked at a low temperature.
Since it is thin, I don't feel the dryness that is typical of breast meat, but it also feels thin.
Thickly sliced pork chashu
This is the thickly sliced pork chashu that I paid 300 yen for.
The texture is so soft that you can't hold it with chopsticks, and the meat is so strong.
As expected, it is thickly sliced and has a presence.
However, although the soup and noodles were elegant, I felt that they were too rich and floating.
I don't think paying a fee is a must, but it's for people who want volume and richness. .
Impressions
It was delicious and you could really taste the shellfish soup.
When it comes to shellfish soup in Ikebukuro,Lake Shinji Shijimi Chinese Soba Kohaku Ikebukuro store” can be mentioned.
I think it's the same vector, so if you're comparing it, I think the soup and noodles are the same.
In terms of toppings, the quality of the char siu, and whether it matches the soup and noodles. .
I think the winner would go to ``Shinjiko Shijimi Chinese Soba Kohaku Ikebukuro'', which was elegantly finished overall.
However, this restaurant is also delicious, so I think there will be repeat customers.
Other menu items that are of interest include soy sauce ramen, tandan noodles, and Aedama (Seasoned Extra Noodles).
You can also have dim sum and beer (Hoegaarden White), so I'd like to try that before finishing the meal.
If we try a different menu, we will introduce it to you, so please look forward to it.
