Mixed wontons...

Day 1102:

After all the shinasoba shops he's helped breed and all the other owners he's helped become famous...


The owner of Tan Tan Tei (たんたん停) still quietly stands in the back of his shop cutting negi, while another one of his pupils learns the delicate craft of shinasoba making. Admirable.


Mixed Wontonmen.


Probably one of the best wontonmen you'll find in Tokyo.


She's a beauty too.


Better upload this pic to Fridgg!

Flower moon...

Day 1022:

Kagetsu (らーめん 華月) in Hamadaya ain't no lotus flower bloom.


But if nothing else in the area is open, then this cheap bowl may occupy some space. I actually found this shop by supreme default. I initially wanted to go to Nekoji, but they were closed for good...and I eventually ended up here as my fourth choice.


Chili beans!


Buta shabu...


No flower moon here.

The acceptance...

The ramen shop I intended to go to was closed.

Tan Tan Tei (たんたん停)

So I came back here instead.

Mixed Wontonmen

Then over cheese-covered bacon...


And meat on a stick.


Fate was accepted...

Tiger fried...

Day 702:

After waking up to the rain, I was in the mood to try something new. Toraji (虎ジ浜田山本店) in Hamadayama was just the thing.


With a cool bamboo interior and a hefty makes-the-food-taste-better chef, this may turn out to be an impressive find.


The Moyashi Tsukemen was approved by the assistant.


And the namesake Shoyu Torajimen was a welcome surprise of furious flavor.


The slippery serpent-like noodles were a perfect match.


But woah, what's this??


A fried hanjuku egg? Cool! You can feel a rubbery snap when you bite into it, but otherwise it's just like a normal hanjuku egg. Not much going on flavor-wise, but texture-wise it was interesting.


Sui Gyoza!


Back at work I tried to copy the fried egg thing. haha.


But it didn't come out right. I think I need to coat it in some flour first.


Anyway, I also tested out a new topping for the TYS.


Roar!

Wontons outside of the forest...

Day 94:

Ever since my friend Paul closed down the Wonton Forest, I've been loosely searching for a comparable wonton to satisfy that yearning. Every now and then I get a craving for a good wonton ramen and today was one of those days. And as I was flipping through one of my ramen mags, I stumbled upon Tan Tan Tei in nearby Hamadayama. Tan Tan Tei has been serving a classic bowl of Shinasoba since before I was even born. Now this has got to be good, I thought.


Upon entering, I immediately ordered the Mixed Wontonmen. It's basically an old-school shoyu ramen with both pork wontons and shrimp wontons.


The noodles are thin and straight with just the right texture for an old-school Tokyo ramen.


Oh and did I mention that the wontons are f***ing great?!! They're not as plump as Paul's, but they were exactly what I needed.


I'm falling asleep as I write this so I will be calling it a night. Goodnight world. See you in the am!
