Toyonaka Mentetsu
Shoyu ramen: 13 / 20
This ramen place close to Toyonaka station is quite popular, and was one of the last in the area I hadn’t tried yet. There is a long counter surrounding a relatively large kitchen space, in which you can see the cooks jumping from one giant pot to another, and preparing the bowls with four hands. I ordered the shoyu ramen – the restaurant’s osusume – but they also serve a shio broth.
Broth: An intense shoyu broth with some Western notes that reminded me of French ‘pot-au-feu’.
Noodles: They had the right elasticity, but a slightly less smooth feel in mouth than usually, because of their square section.
Meat: A (too) large slice of a very average chashu, with a small part of fat.
Toppings: Some short, sweetish menma with a strong taste. Some long negi, and a sheet of nori.
This was a really classical shoyu ramen – which kind of reminded me Strike Ken’s straight bowl in a slightly less perfect version. That’s not really my favorite kind of ramen, but if you fancy this kind of bowl and you are in the area, you may give it a try.
