Mitsukabuzu (Osaka-fu, Toyonaka-shi)

Miso ramen Mitsukabouzu
"Special kansai daitayama": 16 / 20

And here I am again in Mitsukabose, back to Osaka’s miso-ramen star, to make it discover to a friend. We both tried the Special kansai daitayama (not sure of the name again!) with ajitama, that I had noted last time.


Broth: A quite liquid broth with a subtle miso taste, not too strong, and flavored with many herbs - parsil, coriander…

Noodles: That was a surprise here: overcooked. Seems that I’ll have to clarify a few things next time before ordering…

Meat: A slice of firm, lean chashu with some fat veins in the middle.

Egg: It was remarkable: perfectly cooked (gooey yellow, hard white), nothing to say - a model of an egg.

Toppings: A couple of tofu slices and two pieces of non-fermented bamboo - a nice change from the usual menma!

Interestingly, I had a better impression of this soup when I tasted it from my friend’s plate last time (but it I understood correctly this is a special dish, whose composition might vary over time?). Although the broth was very pleasant, the egg fantastic and the bamboo parts brought an interesting twist, the relatively uninteresting meat and overcooked noodles spoiled a little bit the experience. With just a little work, it could easily become a 17/20 though.
