松戸中華そば 富田食堂
まつどちゅうかそば とみたしょくどう
Tsukesoba (with ajitama): 17 / 20
It is kind of painful to hear, after 50 minutes spent in the train, that the ramen shop you came to visit is exceptionally closed today because of some problem with the air-con system. It is even more painful when this shop happens to be Japane's most highly rated ramen joint, namely Tomita. Turning with sadness to my ramendb app on my phone to see if there was anything else valuable in the area, I discovered a spin-off of the restaurant, Tomita Shokudou. Let’s try it!
Broth: In contrast with Tomita's tonkotsu gyokai, the broth is here a slightly sweet shoyu. Although it does not have the kotteri structure of a tonkotsu gyokai broth, it sticked decently to the noodles. Adding the wari-soup at the end gave it a delicious, slightly burned taste.
Noodles: Relatively thin for a tsukemen - I presume that it fits better with a broth less sticky than a tonkotsu gyokai - but very pleasantly firm.
Meat: A slice of pork chashu that was really the letdown of this bowl, too fat and nothing exceptional; and a slice of tender and tasty, slightly peppery chicken, that saved the meaty part of this bowl.
Egg: Very flavorful white part, and an excellent gooey yolk. Very well cooked.
Toppings: Some tender, melting peppery menma - some of the best I’ve ever eaten. A few slices of wakame.
This was an excellent bowl - with a better pork chashu, it would have deserved an 18. If you want to try a tsukemen a bit different from your usual tonkotsu gyokai fix, that’s the place to go; you can also consider it in case there is too much queue at Tomita's main shop - that might happen, on the days when the air-con is not broken...
