Misodoro Mazesoba: 18 / 20
(味噌どろまぜそば)
This elegant ramen restaurant north of Osaka castle features ramen, tsukemen and mazemen (regular, or with miso). I had altready tried here the two former some time ago - they were good, but did not give me any lasting impression. And my only experience of mazemen so far had been the delicious Junk Garage in Saitama, so I wanted to see how this one compared - and here I am, ordering the misodoro mazesoba. Like abura soba (what the exact difference between both, by the way? I'm not sure), you have to mix the ingredients vigorously. The result was a bit similar to Carbonara pasta, with a Japanese twist.
Broth: Mazemen is soup-less ramen but you receive with your mazemen a small cup of delicate, enjoyable light broth, kind of shio-ramen-like.
Noodles: Linguine-like pasta. They are home made, and they are delicious (and no, the first one does not always imply the second).
Meat: Small cubes of excellent bacon-like meat, and stripes of more regular chashu.
Egg: Like at Junk Garage, a raw egg is here to be mixed with your pasta, providing a delicious viscosity to the whole thing.
Toppings: Lots of toppings: some strong-flavored menma, some thin green vegetables, some nuts, and garlic (you can ask without though). Most important, the “misodoro” part of the name referred to a brown miso sauce that gave this bowl all its power. You can also add some laiu and vinegar, to your liking. Finally, you also get a bowl of rice (never really understood why one would need rice while having already twice the recommended daily portion of carbohydrates, but whatever).
I may be biased in favor of mazemen, but this is so far surely one of the three best ramen-noodles dish I’ve eaten in Osaka. Everything was great. I may have a slight preference for Saitama’s Junk Garage, but on this side of Honshu, this is a winner.
