"Euglena" has 59 kinds of abundant nutrients and is called "future ingredients". Today, it is used in various menus such as cookies, cakes, and fried chicken, and it has become a bit of a euglena boom.

The ramen "Midori Ramen" containing 600 million euglena appeared in "Yamate Ramen Anan" in Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo in July last year. It became a hot topic as it was possible to easily ingest the abundant nutrition of Euglena with ramen.


Introducing this time is "Midori Tsukemen" with euglena, which was added as a new menu to Yamate Ramen.

"Midori Ramen" released last year features basil-flavored soup and thin noodles. It was a light ramen with a little pasta atmosphere. So what kind of seasoning is Tsukemen? What is the difference from "Midori Ramen"?

The difference between "Midori Ramen" and "Midori Tsukemen" is the noodles. Tsukemen uses solid thick noodles. For this reason, the boiling time has been extended to 6 minutes. The boiling time for "Midori Ramen" was one and a half minutes, so if you order tsukemen, you will have to wait four and a half minutes longer than the ramen.

And soup. It is thick so that it can be firmly entwined with the thickened noodles.


The soup is rich!

Then, what is the taste of the soup? Basically, you can think of it as a thickened soup of "green ramen". It may be a little salty. As it becomes richer, the basil flavor and salt content will be stronger. When adding noodles, it is recommended to add about half of the noodles before eating. If you put it on too much, some people may get tired of eating it because of its strong taste.


However, if you eat it like that, you will have excess soup. What is the position of the 600 million Euglena in the surplus soup? Do you kill it as it is? … And here is the split soup for tsukemen. The system is such that the surplus soup is divided with this soup and drunk.

This soup, of course, is not just hot water. It's a full-fledged delicious soup with a scent of bonito broth. If you break the soup with this, it's really good! You can drink 600 million Euglena at once!


Now you can drink the soup all at once!
Now you can drink the soup all at once!


Perhaps I felt that it would be even better if I put the split soup in the tsukemen from the beginning and then add the noodles to it. I came up with it after drinking it, so I didn't actually try it, but it was such a good soup. By the way, the soup with split soup has a taste similar to that of "Midori Ramen". In other words, the "green ramen" soup is delicious from the beginning.


So, in the battle between "Midori Ramen" and "Midori Tsukemen", "Midori Ramen" got a boost. If you're wondering which one to eat, we recommend choosing "Midori Ramen"!
