Dried small sardines soup ramen – 煮干しラーメン 850 yen

The soup is mixed with three kind of stocks with dried small sardines and a little chicken stock, anchovy, hirako, and urushime. The flavor of sardines are very strong but don’t feel bitterness or other unpleasant taste. Saltiness are a little strong.

As the technique of soup making, the dried small sardines added to cold water and wait a while, then it warm slowly, so that the taste of sardines moved into the soup well. Also the black color of the soup is from dried small sardines, so it is evidence they use a lot of dried small sardines to make the soup, that’s why the soup is very rich.

Both chicken meat and pork meat are on the soup, chicken one is added a flavor by smoke, and pork meat is chewy and feel natural sweet of pork fat. bamboo shoots are used only part of head, this portion is softer and sweet.
