Ecchan ramen
Today I was drinking in Shinjuku, and it was a natural end to my drinking experience.
The current time is around 23:00, and there are 4 Chan-kei stores in Shinjuku, but I haven't visited yet.Shinchan Ramen' is just closing time. .
I think it's the most delicious in Shinjuku so far.Kotakibashi Kumachan Ramen” is also past closing time. .
So, I think it's the next most delicious.Ecchan ramen” I decided to visit.
This store is basically open 24 hours a day, so it's nice to be able to visit without worrying about business hours.
The store is located in Kabukicho, so the area around the store was busy with foreign tourists, but when we entered the store, we found that it was almost full, with only Japanese customers.
Mori Chuka (Dipping Noodles)
Last time I visited,Chinese noodles + rice”, so this time I ordered “Mori Chuka (Dipping Noodles) (1,050 yen)”.
Mori Chuka means Tsukemen (Dipping Noodles).
Although it is a meal ticket system, you can use electronic money at the meal ticket machine.
After handing the ticket to the staff, the rice bowl was served in about 5 minutes.
Let's get it then.
Soup
It tastes salty and salty.
I get the impression that you can't feel the flavor of pork or soy sauce, just a salty taste.
The Chinese noodles I had last time I visited also had a weak soy sauce flavor, but I think there should have been a bit more pork flavor and fat. .
It's true that pepper goes well with this type of soup with a weak soy sauce and a strong salty flavor, but since the soy sauce is weak, it's almost non-existent, so I get the impression that I'm eating a salt-and-pepper flavored soup. .
The vegetables included bean sprouts and cabbage, but I don't think there was anything special to mention. .
Noodles
The noodles are the usual Daruma noodles, and you can enjoy the smooth texture.
I think this is the same for all stores.
Chashu (Braised Pork)
It is hard and tight.
I had the impression that the flavor of the pork had disappeared, perhaps because it was overcooked. .
The portion was small, but with this char siew, it was actually a good thing that the portion was small. . I even feel that way.
boiled egg
If you choose Mori Chuka, a boiled egg will be the default topping.
It had a flavor that matched the pepper and soup.
chili pepper
It said that it was recommended for flavor, so I tried adding chili pepper.
It does add an accent of spiciness, so the taste will definitely change.
You can add more if you get tired of the taste, but I think chili pepper is a must.
Impressions
Perhaps it was because the store was crowded or because of the time I visited, but the overall impression was that it was sloppy.
The lack of pork flavor in the soup is fatal.
Since it's ramen after drinking, it should taste about 30% more delicious than usual, but it still feels a bit bland. .
I usually don't change the taste very much, but this time I had to do it otherwise it would have been difficult to finish the whole thing. .
If this is the case, I won't be visiting next time. .
