One day I'll get to all the Fukushima ramen shops. One long on my list has been Fukushima Ichimen, a basement shop with a large menu. When I entered I was recommended the seafood shio ramen, whose ingredients change when they feel like it. On my visit firefly squid happened to be one of the primary ingredients.
いつか福島を制覇できるだろう。「福島壱麺」という店にやっと行きました。入った時に海鮮塩ラーメンがお勧めしてもらいました。材料が変わるらしくて、今回ホタルイカが入っていたそうでした。
The Bowl
The toppings were unusual, but the underlying base was a simple shio, light with a sheen of oil. The noodles were thin but not slurpable in a way that welcomed chewing. Of course the main event was the firefly squid topping, which was bitter in the way squid organs often are, with a nice chew to it.
トッピングが変でしたけど、スープは脂が乗っているシンプルの塩でした。麺は細くて、すする系じゃなくて歯ごたえがいいか見やすいのでした。やっぱり目立ったのはホタルイカでした。烏賊的ににが〜くて、固めでした。美味しかったです。
Would I Go Again?
I wasn't head over heels over the bowl, but I suppose I'll show up again as Fukushima Ichimen often appears on stamp rallies.
まあまあうまかったですけど、福島壱麺がよくスタンプラリーで出てくるのでまた行くだろう。
Should You Go?
This is one for those who like the weird.
変なトッピングに今日がある人にいいです。

福島壱麺
Shio ramen with truffle oil was quite good.
ReplyDeleteAlso there are good nihonshu that suits with ramen.
The bad thing is the staff is too much polite for a ramen shop.
