"Kinno Musashi" is a 20th anniversary project of the popular ramen shop, Menya Musashi. A special menu will be offered at each store over a year, and the fifth "Whale Ramen" will be available at Menya Musashi Musashi Gaiden (Shibuya, Tokyo) from May 26th. Will be sold.

I think that the number of people who get excited when they see this and say, "I did it as a whale!" Is relatively small. Rather, there are many people who smell it or have never eaten it in the first place.

Actually, the author (young lady) is not very good at it (although I kept it secret at the time of the interview ...). I'm not good at that unique iron-like smell.

However, the one that impressed me the most after tasting was "sashimi". It's so delicious that I forget about the noodles.

The best “whale sashimi” ever

Sashimi that sticks out of the noodles and sits in a bowl. It is called "tail body" and is a rare and expensive marbling part. It is said that tuna is a big toro, and it is often served as sashimi, which is a dish that makes food lovers wonder.

Even so, you will rarely see it in this flat state. This piece weighs about 80g (2.82oz). What a luxury!


As soon as I put it in my mouth, the moving storm doesn't stop. Abra melts and spreads in your mouth. I didn't mind the smell at all, and I was surprised that the whale was so delicious !?

In fact, it seems that it takes a lot of time to soak only one side in garlic soy sauce for about 20 seconds, wipe it off, and then put it on a bowl. The scent of this garlic goes well with the sweetness of the thick abra.

Another point is the change in texture. The surface in contact with the soup is slightly cooked and has a slightly different texture than the surface. But the softness is the same as the raw surface. Strange.


Well, there is a reason for this flat shape. Garnished vegetables (brassica rapa, white onion with sesame oil, new ginger in season now) can be wrapped and eaten. I see, so are all the vegetables cut to the same length?


Roll it up and roll it up. No, it's too tasty and I'm going to tear. I want to drink Japanese sake. No way, the day will come when you will find whales so delicious!

All vegetables go perfectly with sashimi. Among them, Mizuna is the strongest combination that is familiar even in "Harihari-nabe". This time, the core is raw so that you can enjoy the texture, and the leaves are left in the water. It's too detailed, store manager.

I enjoyed it so slowly that I seriously forgot about the existence of noodles. Oh, by the way, this was ramen ...
