Mr. Chen's Tanmen Shop

Mr. Chen's Tanmen Shop is unique even among many good ramen restaurants along Shin-Koganei-Kaido avenue.
In Japanese, it's "陳さんのタンメン亭", and Tanmen is written as 湯麺 in kanji and seems to be different from Chinese Tanmen.
It also looks like Tantanmen (担担麺 (タンタンメン) which is very spicy and came from Shuan of the continental China but a different one.

Tanmen (タンメン) is a salty soup ramen served with a lot of vegetables.
In case of Mr. Chen's, it's served with some pieces of sliced roasted pork, and that tastes very good at any time.
Here, I mean we feel tastes of the same ramen differently depending on one's
physical condition or mood. But, their Tanmen has natural taste and we can enjoy it in various times. For example, a hot day, a cold day, when we feel exhausted or so.

I believe definitely it's a three stars ramen restaurant. :)



BTW, you can learn about ramen in the following Wikipedia pages. :)
