Tonkotsu ramen (kokuaji): 17 / 20
(こく味)
At the time I tried it, Tatsunoya was the 5th most highly ranked tonkotsu of the capital. After having tried Hakata ramen center, and leaving Kanto in the evening from Shinjuku, there was only one sensible thing to do: compare it with Tatsunoya. I chose the black bowl, koku ramen.
Broth: Very good tonkotsu broth. It seems that there is a thin layer of fat on top, so you may want to mix your bowl before sipping it.
Noodles: I ordered them barikata. I would say they were katame. Fine for me.
Meat: Two slices of chashu, relatively thin (but not as much as at Hakata ramen Center, and definitely better). Melting and chewy at the same time, with a mild but delightful taste.
Egg: A very-well cooked ajitma with gooey yellow, which could rival with the ajitama you would find in the best tonkotsu gyokai tsukemen places of the capital.
Topping: The kikurage were somewhat tastier and less plastic-ish than at Hakata ramen center. Some soy sprouts with a little bit of spicy miso, which bring a nice twist between two sips of classical tonkotsu taste. Of course, you can add as usual goma powder, some (average) green vegetables and ginger, but (shocking!) no garlic. Also, while waiting for your bowl, you can help yourself with some spicy, oily bean sprouts - not bad.
Overall, this was a very good tonkotsu ramen, and not a single part of it did disappoint me. This was a better experience than Hakata ramen center and Tamagatta, although I would rate Ishimanji's black tonkotsu higher (sorry, Tokyo people!). With some fresh garlic, it could have earned an 18.
