Ganso Kalubi Ramen, white: 16 / 20
(元祖カルビラーメン:白)

Saying that this restaurant is localized in a nondescript place would be an understatement. Seriously, who goes to Kami-shinjo - and walks ten minutes from there to go eat some ramen? Well, it looks like some people do, was I thinking on my way towards this well-kept secret of the Northern suburbs. This restaurant has a very special ramen menu, with hormon- or kalbi-ramen, in either red of white version. I was very happy to see that you can order a smaller version for 500 yens, which I did (better to eat less ramen and more fruits tonight), in the white kalbi version. The dish arrived sizzling in a pot, with some spice-bay-mix on the side – original!


Broth: A pleasant, sweetish, light tonkotsu, not too fat - the spice mix fitted very well with it.

Meat: Delicious melting, fatty calbi!

Toppings: Some greens and Western-style onions.

What a beautiful harmony! The alliance of the sweet, milkish broth with the unctuous meat and soft onions worked wonderfully. If you are for some reason travelling on the Hankyu Kita-senri line, this is definitely worth a stop.
