Rarara no Ramen Ittonriki

It's not every day I make it down to Sakai, but sometimes I get the hankering for a bowl of ramen or tsukemen that's famous down there. In fact, the last time I went out of my way to Sakai for a bowl of ramen was a year and a half ago. Similar to that time, it wasn't any dish that could tempt me, but curry tsukemen.

Rarara no Ramen is a shop I had read about in Ramen Walker ages ago, and kept wanting to go. As soon as I arrived, I realized they offered so many other items, such as a spicy miso tsukemen, but it was curry tsukemen I came for, so it was curry tsukemen I ordered.

堺市にあまり行きませんけど、たまに堺にしかないラーメンが欲しくなります。実は前行ったのは一年半前でした。あのときみたいにカレーつけ麺を食べたかったので行ってしもた。

らららのらーめんはラーメンウォーカーで知ってずっと行きたかったです。着いた時点にカレーつけ麺だけじゃなくて辛みそつけ麺などいっぱいおいしそうなメニューがあったのを気づきました。だが、カレーつけ麺を食べる使命があったのでカレーつけ麺を頼みました。

The Bowl
A dip of the noodles into the curry revealed that this well-spiced, hearty broth showed the signs of a great meal: the curry wasn't just good with the noodles, it would have been delicious eaten on its own or with rice. I did not reject the flat, grainy noodles, though which like the under-flavored chashu, came into their own after sucking in the rich soup. Even towards the end, although the soup was a bit salty when drank on its own, the wari-soup diluted it just enough to make for an after-dinner light curry snack.

カレーを一味するとスープの本物のおいしさがわかってきました。麺と一緒じゃなくてもそのままでもご飯と一緒でもスパイスがよく利いた風味がいいカレーが合いました。麺が平たくてもちもちでした。チャーシューはちょっと味が薄めでしたけど、カレーにつけたらちょうど良くなりました。最後の一滴でもちょっと塩っぱかったですけど、割スープと混ぜたら軽くて飲みやすくなりました。

Would I Go Again?
Yes.

はい。

Should You Go?
Yes.

はい。
