Ushio (麺巧 潮) is a very popular ramen shop in Kanda..
They mainly offer two types of ramen: Toripaitan Soba and Nihon-ichi Shoyu Soba. Occasionally, they also serve limited-time special ramen. During lunchtime, a large serving of rice is available free of charge.
Like many ramen shops, they have a ticket vending machine at the entrance. After purchasing your ticket, the staff will guide you to your seat. The shop is quite narrow, with 9 counter seats and 1 table that seats 4. Please note that they do not allow children under the age of 10.
This was my choice: Toripaitan Soba. Toripaitan is a rich and creamy chicken broth.
The broth is made with chicken and vegetable stock, blended with fresh cream and milk. It almost resembles a creamy spaghetti soup. The texture of the noodles is also similar to spaghetti. They make their medium-thin noodles in-house.
The toppings include rolled asparagus wrapped in pork, a poached egg, broccoli, fried onions, chopped parsley, and more. Is it ramen? Hmm, it feels more like spaghetti. When I’m in the mood for ramen, this wouldn’t be my first choice. But let me say it again—it’s great spaghetti. 🙂
This is my friend’s choice: Nihon-ichi Shoyu Soba. I had a taste, and as expected, I still love shoyu ramen the most among all ramen varieties. The clear soup, made with soy sauce and chicken broth, is delightful. The toppings include roasted pork, roast duck, an egg, and mizuna greens. Very luxurious!
You may think ”What is Nihon-ichi Shoyu?”.
Nihon-ichi Shoyu (にほんいち醤油) is high-populated soy sauce produced by Oka Naosaburo Shoten Co.ltd of Gunma prefecture. Now the number of ramen shops that use this soy sauce is increasing, but the first ramen shop that use this soy sauce is said to be Ushio.
You might wonder, “What is Nihon-ichi Shoyu?”
Nihon-ichi Shoyu (にほんいち醤油) is a premium soy sauce produced by Oka Naosaburo Shoten Co., Ltd.(岡直三郎商店), in Gunma Prefecture. While more ramen shops are starting to use this soy sauce, Ushio is said to be the first to adopt it.
This soup is made with stock from kombu seaweed, dried mackerel, and Nihon-ichi Shoyu. It’s reminiscent of soba dipping sauce!
