At the noodle shop Musashi Takadanobaba (Takadanobaba, Tokyo), "Dasai Sake Kaoru Fugu Ramen" will be on sale from February 25th to 28th.

The second installment of "Kinno Musashi", a 20th anniversary project of Menya Musashi, which offers "special ramen" around all stores over a year. The points of this cup are sake lees from the popular sake "Daisai" and seasonal blowfish.

When I tasted it, it was a simple but profound ramen that made the best use of the goodness of the ingredients.

Sake lees of the festival, and blowfish. What a luxurious ramen!

■ It is a noteworthy "centrifugal" sake lees

Menya Musashi also sells "Sake Kaoru Miso Ramen, " which also uses sake lees from the festival (extended by the end of February). This uses sake lees from "Junmai Daiginjo 50". It's still luxurious enough, but this time, sake lees from "Daisai Shine 20% 3 minutes Centrifugal Separation", which accounts for only 2% of the total production, are used.

When making sake, it is generally put in a bag and squeezed under pressure. The centrifugal separation system "separates" the mash and sake without pressurizing, so you can feel the original scent and swelling of the mash.

■ Yamaguchi is probably blowfish!

Asahi Shuzo, which manufactures the festival, is located in Iwakuni City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. Speaking of Yamaguchi Prefecture's specialty, blowfish! So, it seems that they are purchasing "best blowfish" from "Sakae Fuku" (a long-established store of blowfish wholesalers, which seems to be insanely delicious), which is a specialty of Asahi Shuzo.

Sawedged perch, which is surprisingly well-dressed, is slowly boiled into soup. Only water, kelp, and salt, which is adjusted in milligrams, are combined. After finishing it simply and carefully, add sake lees at the end so as not to erase the scent.

Shirako, who has a strong presence, is equivalent to one whole animal! After slowly warming the sake lees pickled in the sake lees of the festival, taking care not to make it too thick, roast one side and top it. When roasting, do not use a gas burner, but use an oven toaster. It seems that it is a device that values the scent.

If you're lucky, maybe a bigger milt

■ Sake lees and blowfish can't be beaten.

First, take a bite of soup. Is it an image that the scent of sake lees gently wraps the deep and deep taste of blowfish? The goodness of puffer fish and sake lees fits into your body. Clean sake (sake lees) and blowfish. The best combination ever.

so. The puffer fish milt. It's terrible. It's ridiculous. It is rich, mellow and has a nice texture, the baked part is a little fragrant, and the sake lees are fragrant. There is no smell at all.

so. If you pick up the milt a little bit, it will dissolve in the soup. Transforms into a mellow soup with richness. You can enjoy a bite of puffer fish and sake lees concentrated tightly by entwining the pieces with the noodles.

It's a little whitish, can you tell?

I think the words "Ah, delicious !! Elegant and high quality !!" left by President Sakurai of Asahi Shuzo express everything. The price is 2,000 yen. It's expensive for ramen, but you shouldn't lose a cup of it that you can come out at a kaiseki meal.

I strongly agree

At the time of the first sale of "Negima Ramen ", some customers lined up before the store opened, and on Saturdays and Sundays, a limited number of 10 cups were sold out at the same time as the store opened. Please note that this time too, it is limited to 4 days and 10 cups a day.

The third one to be sold in March is said to be a cup of "story". I couldn't imagine it at all because I couldn't tell you the details!
