Finally, @ramengirl Try A Tearful Ramen 눈물 젖은 라멘을 맛보다

in ramengirl •  7 years ago 


Hey, friends! This is @ramengirl.

I recently went to Fukuoka because I had the chance to go to travel for three days. I’ve never visited Fukuoka before, so I was so excited.

I’ve heard that Fukuoka has a lot of famous restaurants as good as big cities like Tokyo or Osaka, also the prices are relatively cheaper.

I should try ramen first in Fukuoka, AmIrite?

Hakata ramen is one of the representative ramens in Japan. One characteristic of Hakata ramen is that the soup boiling the whole time with pork bone.

In Fukuoka, there is a lot of famous ramen places, but I chose the restaurant on this trip is called 'Isso' in Hataka.

Isso is also a very famous ramen restaurant near Hataka Station, where I was staying, and I was able to run right after check in at the hotel as soon as I got off the plane.

Isso was located 7-8 minutes away from Hataka Station. Before I got to the restaurant maybe from 2 blocks away I could smell the Donkotsu soup(Pork bone soup) already. So I thought I'm going in the right direction.
I went there 3:00 pm, which was a not busy time for the restaurant, but all the seats were full, so I had to wait for about five minutes and then was able to take the seat.

We ordered two types of ramen, Ajitama Ramen, and Chashu ramen. It was 650yen to 700yen(about $6 - $7)
It’s common to ask about the boiling of noodles when you order ramen at a ramen place usually, but at Isso, they didn’t ask. Instead, it seemed like they serve the noodle that they think it's perfect.

When I looked the soup closely, it was covered with bubbles, and this bubble was telling me how creamy soup was.

Well… It tastes completely different from that I imagined.

My first impression was very SALTY. Although the Japanese food is generally salty this one was really high in salinity.

Chashu which is pork cut thinly was also not the flavor that I usually know. It looks more like a boiled pork.

The noodle was very similar with somen. It seemed like more floury than the somen but I was confused about it's floury because of its own flavor or because it was under-cooked.

Okay, at the end let’s try azidama (boiled egg). It is saltier than the soup!! Hahaha This is the saltiest eggs in my life.

Even though I was very hungry, I couldn’t finish a bowl. I was so frustrated because I had never been disappointed with ramen before.

Maybe I was disappointed because I was so excited too much!
