Niboshi ramen: 16 / 20
Niboshi tsukemen: 13 / 20
This ramen shop located 300 m from Meguro station has a definitely pleasant vibe, with its white bright atmosphere and jazz background music. My friend ordered the niboshi ramen, and I chose the niboshi tsukemen. Let’s start with the former:
Broth: A wonderful niboshi broth enhanced by some yuzu notes – a beautiful harmony!
Noodles: A little bit curly and slightly too soft for my taste.
Meat: Very lean and tender, but very mild in taste.
Toppings: Some soft menma with a light classical taste, some purple onions, white negi and herbs.
I love niboshi, I love yuzu, so I was bound to love this broth. Although the remainder of the ingredients were not so exceptional, this elegant broth could compete with the best niboshi around.
Unfortunately, my tsukemen was less remarkable:
Broth: Light in taste and sticks little to the noodles, not bad but a little bit disapointing when compared to the ramen. The soup wari was too diluted and totally uninteresting.
Noodles: Very thin noodles for a tsukemen, they kind of looked like whole grain but still had some elasticity. Interesting change but not so convincing – also, they were quite sticky and it was a bit difficult to separate them from each other.
Meat: Two slices of pink ham (I guess?), which gave some colorful twist to this elegant bowl, but hardly tasted anything.
Toppings: A very long menma branch, tender behind the crunchiness, but light in taste. Some parsil, and some mitsuba.
An interesting and elegant bowl, but not as convincing as expected. I would definitely recommend to stick to their niboshi ramen – and they also have more classical shoyu (see Ramen Tokyo's review) and shio ramen that might be worth trying.
