Aozora

The Ramen Gekijo in Nipponbashi is supposed to cycle through new ramen shops, but recently it's been revisiting old shops that have been there once before. This time is classic tonkotsu shop Aozora. Aozora was successful enough that it spawned an independent restaurant not too far away. The special sesame sardine shoyu ramen was advertised as having won a food festival earlier in the year, so I tried that.

日本橋にある拉麺劇場はいろんな店を紹介するはずですけど、最近ずっと同じ店が出ています。今回豚骨がメイン青空という店が出てきました。青空は成功して近くにある独立店ができました。特別ゴマ煮干し白醤油ラーメンは最近賞をもらったらしかったので、それにしました。

The Bowl
I haven't had a bowl this sesame in a while. The shoyu base itself was light and refreshing, which was good because it didn't conflict with the taste of the sesame. The noodles too were light, and also filled with sesame seeds, making for strange but delicious bites. The bowl was filled with shredded pork; fatty, and delicious.

こんなに「ゴマ」という感じのラーメンが久しぶりです。醤油スープがあっさりしてゴマの味に合わせました。麺も食べやすくて、ごまがいっぱい入っていました。一口でも、けっこうゴマの味がしました。角煮より豚バラが乗って、油っぽくてうまかったです。

Would I Go Again?
Yes; the shop will change soon enough.

店がまた変わるので私がまた行きます。

Should You Go?
Yes.

はい。
