Mengumi Antaga Taisho

I was hungry on a rainy day and wanted to see if there were any recent new shops. I discovered Mengumi Antaga Taisho, a chicken ramen shop in Taisho. I saw the entry for Antaga and thought it was opening day, but when I got there I was surprised to learn that it was actually the first anniversary. How did I go a full year without realizing there was a shop like this in Taisho? Antaga was created by a cook who left heralded chicken shops Menya Taku and Men Life Taku. He wanted to start a ramen shop in Taisho, where he was born and raised, and that gave us Antaga.

雨が降っている日に新しい店があるかチェックしていました。麺組Antaga大正を発見しました。オープンの日だと思いましたけど、実はぴったり一周年でした。どうやってこういう店ずっと気づきませんでしたか？麺屋拓と麺Life拓のチェフが大正の出身でラーメン屋さんを作りたいらしいので、Antagaができました。

The Bowl
Just like Men Life Taku, Antaga offered a rich and refreshing chicken broth. It was just a little thick, salty, with a slight sweet edge. The noodles were thin and short; they weren't chewy but tasted a lot like soba. A solid chicken bowl all around, but I hesitate to say it's as good as the shops that bred it.

麺Life拓みたいにAntagaのラーメンはこってりですけど飲みやすい鶏パイたんでした。塩辛かったですけど、ちょっと甘みもしました。麺は細くて短くてそばにけっこう似ていました。おいしくて、やっぱ食べたら麺屋拓などのイメージがします。

Would I Go Again?
Maybe; but it's tough when I have Men Life Taku so close.

また行くかもしれません。

Should You Go?
It's one of the best places in Taisho; good if you're near the Kyocera Dome.

大正の近くにあっておいしいので京セラドームに行ったらAntagaで食べたらいいです。
