'Kokon' tsukemen: 13 / 20(濃昆 つけ麺)
This ramen restaurant two stops north of Juso has a large variety of slightly unusual dishes, including a mazesoba and three sorts of tsukemen: a clear-broth tsukemen, a chicken-based chinese tsukemen, and a spicy miso tsukemen. I was tempted to try the mazesoba but being in a tsukemen-run, I went with the clear-broth one.
Broth: A clear broth served sizzling. Not so much taste (it somehow reminds chicken?) and a bit fat. Does not coat so much the noodles, and the soup wari was a bit too fat and salty (they also add a yuzu peel to give some additional taste, but it went unnoticed when I ate it with the rest).
Noodles: Relatively thin compared to what you would find in a tonkotsu gyokai tsukemen, but this makes sense, since the broth is much lighter in taste.
Meat: A couple of slices falling apart as soon as you touch them with your chopsticks, melting in the mouth, fat but excellent. Something quite novel here.
Egg: Half of an OK egg.
Toppings: Unusually, the broth included a slice of kombu. Some menma with a mild taste, flavored with sesame.
Difficult to give a rating here. The whole thing was definitely too fat and I felt slightly nauseous half an hour later. However, the crumbly meat was excellent and original. I would not order it again, but this was an interesting experience. I have to come back to try their other specialties.
