麺屋はなぶさ
めんやはなぶさ
Menya Hanabusa
Shio ramen: 17 / 20
I must say it straightaway: I had a grudge against Hanabusa. I had already tried to come there twice, at times when it should have been opened according to ramendb; and on both occasions, it was inexplicably closed. In any other circumstances, I would have given up, but this restaurant was on the list of the Ra-Sai festival, so it was out of question that I would fail to earn my oh-so-precious bowl (yeah, slight irony inside) because of them.
However, all my gudge disappeared when I took my first sip of their shio ramen.
Broth: An intense shio with a light taste of both niboshi and kombu, not too salty, very balanced and harmonious.
Noodles: Good, slightly curly noodles, with an eggy taste, very easy to slurp. There were quite a lot of them in this deep bowl, actually!
Meat: Two small slices of delicious, crumbling chashu, with just what it should have of melting fat.
Egg: Half of a very well cooked egg with gooey yellow, on the hard side – although the white was a bit soft and could have been a bit more tasty.
Toppings: A few thin, long slices of pale bamboo – they did not really have the typical preserved taste of menma.
Overall, that was a great bowl, very Ibuki-like, and definitely worth trying. For information, they are closed on the third Saturday of each month, but as of August 2015, this still does not appear ramendb. Ramen shops of Japan, thank you in advance for updating your info on ramendb!
