Mentoku



Today I had lunch with a colleague of mine at a Ramen shop in Senzoku, Tokyo.

Mentoku (Senzoku) seems to be called as 'Jiro Inspired Ramen'

Jiro is a famous Ramen shop chain in Tokyo, and they offer a bit different Ramen from others.
First of all, their noodle is very thick. It's like Udon. :o
Second, their soup is very strong soy sauce based soup.
In case of Mentoku, the soup was with plenty of oil.
Thus, their Ramen was a bit too strong for me. But, according to the colleague, their Ramen is habit-forming one. There is a Ramen shop under Jiro franchise, and I'm wondering if I should go to the Jiro franchise Ramen shop or not. :o

rdbを見た感じではライトな二郎インスパイア系という感じですね。
私も最初に二郎を食べたときにはこんなの食いきれない・・・と思ってましたが、何回か食っていると味の濃さ・麺の量にも慣れてしまうから怖いっす。:-)
