Menoh

After a day and two ramen shops in Onomichi, it was on to Kagawa. We ate barbecue when we first arrived, and waited on line for an hour for udon the next morning, but that didn't stop us from finding ramen too. I visited Tokushima two years before, and the thought of delicious Tokushima ramen has stuck with me since. There was a branch of famous Tokushima ramen chain Menoh (now available in San Francisco!) near Takamatsu Station, so we took a break from the Kagawa delicacies and went on in.

尾道を遊びに行ってから、香川に行きました。着いたらまずバーベキューパーティーをして、次の朝に一時間ぐらいうどんの店で並びました。でも、またラーメンを食べたくなって来たので、ラーメンも食べました。二年前に徳島に遊びに行って、徳島ラーメンにはまられました。高松駅の近くに麺王という徳島ラーメンのチェン店があって、入ってみました。

The Bowl
Tokushima ramen is tonkotsu shoyu; a bit porky, but with a soy sauce taste, and sweet. Iekei, the similar style from Yokohama doesn't have the sweetness and full of oil, making it much more overwhelming of a meal. In addition, it's standard to crack a raw egg into the bowl and let it mix with the soup. The noodles were thin and soft, and the pork was thinner slices like the kind you'd find it a lot of Korean food, and sweet too. After an interesting bowl like this, I remember why I like Tokushima ramen so much.

徳島ラーメンは豚骨醤油ベースです。家系に比べると、もっと軽くて甘い味がします。それに、生卵をかけて、スープと混ぜて、さらにおいしくなります。麺が細くて柔らかくて、チャーシューより韓国料理みたいな豚バラが乗っていました。こういうラーメンを食べたら、「やっぱ徳島ラーメン最高だ」と思ってしまいます。

Would I Go Again?
Yeah, if I'm near another branch.

他の支店の近くにいれば、行きたいです。

Should You Go?
Yes, especially those of you living in San Francisco.

行ってみたらいいです。
