Nissin Ippudo Hakata Tonkotsu / 日清 一風堂 博多とんこつ


You gotta love a country that takes its instant noodles so seriously. And with a lot of well-known ramen shops also getting in on the act, sometimes its hard to choose which one to try. Today, I decided to go with the Hakata Tonkotsu produced by Ippudo. I haven't been to the actual ramen shop but it's almost always listed in the top 10 in any ramen book guide.

日本のカップ麺業界は素晴らしい。最近有名な店もインスタントのほうにも力入れてます。何を選べるのが大変。今日は「一風堂」の博多とんこつを食べてみた。「一風堂」はどのラーメンガイドブックでも大体トップテンに入ってる店らしい。


I do love a nice bowl of tonkotsu ramen (that would be ramen with a pork-based broth). Adding a couple of other original sauces make this for one delicious instant ramen. Of course I doubt that it surpasses their original which I will have to try sometime in the near future.

僕はとんこつラーメンが大好きなんで、美味しいと思いました。ふたに書かれてるのは「特製ごまマー油と旨味ダレが極旨の細麺にからむ衝撃の一杯」。多分店のほうには越えないと思うが、いつか店に行って食べてみたい。



Bon Appetit!

いただきます!
