Three years on the mackerel
『Whiskey Harbor KobeI came to Kobe Sannomiya to participate in a whiskey event called ``.
When I was a child, I didn't like seafood in general.
I didn't like the fishy smell of fish, so blue fish was out of the question for me.
However, as I grew up and started drinking alcohol, I suddenly found myself able to eat fish.
Nowadays, I like to eat fish, and if I was asked what my favorite fish is, I would think it might be mackerel.I like mackerel so much.
Normally, you cannot eat mackerel as sashimi due to parasites such as Anisakis, but in some areas such as Fukuoka, you can eat mackerel sashimi, and it is naturally delicious.
I usually use shime mackerel raw, but of course it's delicious, and it's even more delicious when grilled.
The appeal of mackerel is that it can be eaten in a variety of ways, such as being delicious grilled, stewed with mackerel miso, and even canned mackerel.
When I searched for what to eat in Sannomiya, I found ``Three years on the mackerelI found a ramen shop called ``.
As a mackerel lover, this is a must visit.
I visited around 19:30, but the place was full with customers who had entered earlier, so I had to wait about 10 minutes to enter.
Strong & Dive Meal
I was thinking about what to order during the 10 minutes I was waiting, but I decided on ``Mackerel'' which seemed to have the strongest taste.Strong & Dive Meal (1,100 yen)” I ordered.
There was a meal ticket system, and only cash was accepted.
Soup
It's a rich soup like potage.
It has a rich mackerel taste just as it looks, and I am drinking mackerel instead of soup.
As the note on the counter says, the soup will separate, so stir it while eating.
It has a very rich taste, so it's a good idea to eat jikami (pink leaf ginger) and drink cold drinks to reset your palate.
Noodles
Straight noodles that are slightly hard.
The soup is too thick and viscous, so the noodles don't stretch and you can enjoy a slightly hard texture until the end.
Grilled mackerel
It looks like char siu, but it's actually mackerel.
It's thick and fatty.
It's nice that there are no bones in it so you can eat it without worrying.
Although it is small, it also contains pork chashu.
dive meal
Lastly, we will have dive rice.
It's exactly like mackerel porridge.
You can enjoy the soup to the very end.
Impressions
Mackerel.
This is all I can say.
I think everything except the noodles was mostly mackerel.
I'm eating mackerel, not at the level of mackerel soup stock.
I felt like I ate more mackerel than when I ate the grilled mackerel set meal or the mackerel miso set meal.
As a mackerel lover, I'm satisfied, but the mackerel is so strong that I feel like I can't recommend it to people who don't normally eat mackerel.
There are some menu items that don't have that strong of a mackerel flavor, and there also seems to be some Mazesoba that has a whole piece of grilled mackerel on it that seems to have a stronger mackerel flavor.
I decided not to try it because of my stomach, but apparently they also have grilled mackerel sushi.
I think I'll be visiting Whiskey Harbor Kobe again next year, so I'd like to visit again to satisfy my craving for mackerel.
