中華ソバ 櫻坂
ちゅうかそば さくらざか
Chuuka Soba Sakurazaka
Tsukesoba: 17 / 20
(つけソバ)
This ramen joint just south of Shibuya station is kind of a fame. I went there and tried the tonkotsu gyokai tsukemen with ajitama.
Broth: Quite liquid for a gyokai-tonktosu tsukemen, it maybe lacked a little bit of adhesion to the noodles. Did I taste a hint of yuzu? Anyway, it had a very pleasant spiciness. The soup wari, however, did not bring anything special
Noodles: Not so thick, not so tasty, but the right mochiness - wait a minute, didn’t I just write this somewhere else??
Meat: A very crumbly and melting, high quality chashu, quite convincing.
Egg: The regular tsukemen already comes with half an egg (not ajitama, and very average), so I ended up with 1,5 eggs! The ajitama egg had a very liquid, savory yolk. Excellent, but that was too much egg for a single dish, they should definitely remove the default half egg.
Toppings: A very large, branching menma, kind of the same you would get at BASSANOVA - a rarity in my experience.
The subtle broth combined with a very convincing chashu and ajitama make it deserve a 17 / 20 and enter into the ‘excellent’ category.
My friend ordered the shio/tori paitan ramen:
This bowl was much less convincing (Campbell chicken soup, anyone?), I strongly recommend not ordering it.
More info on ramendb.
Other reviews (it seems that there is a consensus here against the shio/tori paitan): Ramen Adventures, Ramen is love, Ramen-otaku
