Tenshiro

Tenma is an area with a ton of ramen shops and other restaurants, but for some reason I don't find myself there as often as I should. On one random weeknight, though, I was hankering for tsukemen, and discovered online the shop Tenshiro, in Tenma. Tenshiro is actually a sister shop to Menya Teru, and that was all I needed to know to decide to check it out.

天満にはラーメン屋さんもほかのレストランもいっぱいありますけどなぜかあまり行きません。ある平日につけ麺が欲しくてインターネットで天満にある「天四郎」という店を見かけました。天四郎は麺や輝と同じ系列なので行ってみることにしました。

The Bowl
Tenshiro makes its broth from a combination of two soups: one with chicken and pork, and the other with fish. The fish stood out: the broth was thinner than average, and the seafood essence was stronger than its umami, but the combination didn't work quite as well as other similar examples. The noodles, fatty chashu, and egg were all fairly standard but pretty decent; the main component that stood above the rest was the unique sudachi vinegar on the side. It was light and refreshing compared to the heavy tsukemen.

天四郎のスープは鶏ガラ豚骨と魚介のだぶるスープでした。肉系より魚介の味の方が強い感じがしてちょっととろみが足りなかったです。太麺、チャーシュー、味玉はよくできたんですけど、一番気になったのは食卓の上においてあったすだち酢でした。さっぱりしてちょうど良かったです。

Would I Go Again?
I felt the same way about Teru's tsukemen - it's not bad, but there are better places to go.

輝のつけ麺みたいにおいしいですけど、もっとおいしい店がいっぱいあります。

Should You Go?
Nah.

行かなくていいです。
