Try the "Negi Soba" with plenty of green onions

This time, I ordered Negi Soba (940 yen).
After I sat down, I didn't have to wait long and the bowl of rice arrived right away.

Kitakata ramen is based on pork bones, and the blend varies greatly depending on the store, with soy sauce, miso, salt, etc., but Tanaka SobaSaltyIt seems like.
The smell of salty pork bone soup is sure to whet your appetite.

The generous serving of white spring onions absorbs the soup well,The combination of the spiciness of the green onions, the rich saltiness, and the fattiness of the pork bones is irresistible..
The char siu is well-cooked,The fatty parts are melt-in-your-mouth.and soft,The lean part has loose fibers.It has a gentle taste.

The soup is a clear, crisp broth, typical of Kitakata ramen.
Contrary to its bland appearance,Rich and deep salty tasteAnd not too pushy.Just the right amount of oilinessYou can feel the pork bone flavor.
Also, in moderationPepper is effectiveIt adds a nice accent to the room.

Apparently, regular customers at Tanaka Soba often order their soup with a rich flavor (a secret menu item).
Apparently they'll add enough back fat to create an oily film!
Recommended for those who like richer flavors and are not satisfied with just pork bone salt soup!

The noodles are medium-thick flat noodles.
The noodles had a chewy yet smooth texture, and the slightly curly noodles mixed well with the soup, so I finished them in no time.
