Oh what a beautiful day for slurping. I met my boss in Shimokitazawa for lunch so we could do our occasional ramen shop research. With 10 shops in and around Tokyo, Mitsuyado Seimen is known for making a really good noodle. But it was more than just a good noodle I was after. Mitsuyado has something on the menu that I've been dying to try for quite some time now. No, not their natto tsukemen...
Their 濃厚 Cheese Sauce Tsukemen!!
I love cheese, but how would it fair with tsukemen?
I was told to pour the cheese on top of the noodles first before dipping it into my broth. This alone tasted like mac and cheese. Mmmm!
Surprisingly, dipping my cheese-covered noodles into the yuzu-infuzed tsukemen broth tasted amazing. Yes, the noodles were great, but this new experience left me beside myself. I was just about to give up on tsukemen altogether, but now I have faith that there are still some good ones out there.
My boss ordered the Ja-Ja Men.
This tasted great as well.
I wouldn't mind going back here again. Here's to a great month. I have a feeling next month may be even better.
Your blog makes me hungry everyday.
ReplyDeleteI am also ramen holic who doesn't have much chance to eat Ramen.
Shoki is only one around here....OTL
WHOAH this site keeps blowing my mind- in Toronto we don't get too into interesting variations of Japanese food, usually you're lucky to get a mediocre ramen at best, but this dish reminds me of how I was at Izakaya Guu and got the cheese bibimbop, finding it to be the greatest dish of the evening. I can't wait to get cheese ramen!
