I have eaten Ippudo's seasonal menu "Chilled Dandan Noodles". Dice-cut raw cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions float in a sesame soup that is thick and mellow like milk, and it tastes like a cold potage. Chili oil is also good and the spiciness is strong.
The price is 961 yen (tax included). The cloudy soup is so thick that it makes you feel like you're drowning in the smell of sesame seeds. However, the saltiness is not so strong, so you can enjoy it by scooping it with a lotus.
The texture is mellow and reminiscent of soy milk or milk. However, the chili oil is so pouring that the surface glows reddish brown, and the aftertaste is spicy.
In the soup, there are thick, chilled and chewy noodles, tianmian sauce (tenmenjang), meat miso mixed with a special gang, soft-boiled egg with yolk trolley, tomato and cucumber, and condiments such as white sardines and coriander. It is put on.
It may seem like it's a waste to put chopsticks in the richly colored toppings, but as a standard way to enjoy dandan noodles, mix them well.
If you try a bite after entwining the ingredients evenly in the noodles, the sweet and spicy taste of the crushed meat miso will be mixed in the flavor of the sesame soup that is cool and thick. As you advance the chopsticks, chewing the leaves of coriander will let the unique aroma slip through your nose, and chewing on fresh cucumbers and tomatoes will accentuate the refreshing flavor, so you won't get tired of it.
The volume is equal to or greater than Ippudo's standard ramen "Akamaru" and "Shiromaru", which is more than enough for lunch and dinner. I'm pretty full without the side menu. Perfect for those who want to enjoy the cool cold noodles and soup to their heart's content.
