I tried the tempura-laden ramen "Tenchuka" for sale at "Yudetaro". It's not a recommended menu for everyone, but if you like B-grade gourmet, you can try it and it's worth it.


The price is 450 yen (tax included, same below), and the set with croquette and rice is 550 yen. I chose a single item this time. A noodle dish from Aomori and Tsugaru. Noodles are floated on chicken, pork and seafood soup, seaweed is placed on top, a shrimp heaven is laid down, and menma is added. A simple ramen that you eat later with chopped green onions on a separate plate. You can also add spices for buckwheat if you like.


Shrimp heaven has a fluffy batter and sucks plenty of soup. The heavy batter can be easily torn off if you don't pinch it well with chopsticks. I also use astragalus. The soup overflows in your mouth when you chew, but it is quite salty and tastes like soba soup.


The noodles are crispy and the amount is plentiful. It's neither hard nor soft, and it also has a salty soup, which makes you feel like you're eating hot soba noodles.


I don't have char siu or seasoned eggs, but I feel satisfied with the shrimp tempura and noodles. By the way, the salty aftertaste remains, so it is recommended to keep the self-service chill.


It may not come to those who like authentic ramen, but it may not be bad for those who like B-grade gourmet and those who like the unusual menu of buckwheat chain.

Yudetaro is operated by two companies, "Yudetaro System" and "Shinetsu Foods", and the menu differs depending on the store. Tenchuka is available at the Yudetaro System store. You can find out where the store is from the official website.
