Ramen Derby

Another year, another Ramen Derby! My first stop was for a niboshi bowl from Kyoto's Seabura no Kami and Kataguruma.

またラーメンダービー！一杯目は京都名店セアブラノ神とかたぐるまのコラボの煮干しラーメンでした。

The Bowl
It was super oily, but not overly fishy. Filled with flat, curly noodles that looked like they were maybe handmade. A pretty solid first bowl overall.

油濃かったですけど、魚臭くなかったです。麺が平たい麺で手作りっぽかったです。全体的に美味しかったです。

Next up was a collaboration between Kinsei ramen and Torakichi.

次は彩色ラーメンきんせいと寅吉のコラボでした。

The Bowl
As expected of Kinsei, it was a lighter-than-air shio that didn't weigh me down and was perfect as a chaser for the niboshi. The noodles were nice and firm, perhaps even too much for the broth.

きんせいらしく、かるーい塩スープは二杯目でも重く感じなかったです。麺は硬めで美味しかったですけど、もうちょっとこってりなスープに入れてみたいです。

And afterwards, by tradition, a stop at Craft Beer Holiday!

食べてから、いつも通りクラフトビアホリデーへ行ってきました！
