Karakuchi Abura Niku Soba Hirudora

Hirudora, a spicy ramen shop, has appeared and disappeared from Nipponbashi, but a version in Tsuruhashi appeared recently. I went by shortly after opening, and ordered this shop's specialty: the spicy shoyu niku soba.

辛いラーメン専門店「ひるドラ」の日本橋本店ができたり閉まったりしていますけど、最近鶴橋支店ができました。できてからすぐ行って、名物の辛口炙り肉ソバ醤油を注文しました。

The Bowl
As promised, this bowl was full of spice. It was covered in oil too; the whole thing smelled and tasted of hot pepper. The noodles were thick and square strands of pepper, essentially. Not to be bested by the oily soup, there was tons of fatty pork, too. There was a piece of juicy stewed pork, in addition to some thin but tougher pork rib. In fact, the whole thing was covered in pork back fat, which tempered the spice and oil of the soup.

期待した通りスパイシーでした。唐辛子臭くて、油もすごかったです。麺は中太くてしかくて胡椒の味がしました。スープだけじゃなくて、油っこいチャーシューもありました。ジューシーな角煮をはじめ、硬め豚バラがいっぱい乗っていました。背油も遠慮なく散らばっていて、それでちょっとだけ辛さが収まれました。

Would I Go Again?
I might, if I'm feeling a little spice and a lot of oil.

辛くて、油っこいものの気分にまた行くかもしれません。

Should You Go?
I would recommend Hirudora for anyone making the rounds on the spicy ramen circuit.

辛いラーメン専門家におすすめです。
