"RAMEN IROHA", a signboard menu with black ramen, opened on October 2nd on the restaurant floor of the renewed Yodobashi-Akiba (Akihabara, Tokyo).

Menya Iroha is a talented shop in Toyama prefecture that has won the huge outdoor ramen event "Tokyo Ramen Show" five times. I kept wanting to eat, but I wasn't blessed with the opportunity ... The opportunity to eat the ramen has finally arrived! The En-eating editorial department infiltrated the pre-opening and ate it.

The restaurant floor is on the 8th floor of the building. 30 stores will open under the name of "Wai Wai Gourmet Yodobashi Akiba". This time, 13 stores will appear as the first phase. 17 stores are scheduled to open on November 20th as the second phase.

By the way, Menya Iroha is next to the escalator, just off the elevator. It is written as "Toyama Black" and is marked by bricks and goodwill. After purchasing a meal ticket at the ticket vending machine at the store, enter the store. There are counter seats and table seats.

I received the basic "Toyama Black Ramen" (850 yen). Looking at the bowl that was brought in, the soup was really black! It's so black that the black bricks are assimilated. It is finished with char siu, menma, glue, green onions and pepper.

The rich scent of dried sardines comes from the bowl. When I drank a bit of the black soup that I was curious about, it tasted light with the soup stock of seafood, not from soy sauce or salt. Among them, the dried sardines are still impressive. There is no umami, and I will firmly insist on the taste.

On the other hand, it has a rich soy sauce flavor and a mellow taste. The author, who is usually worried about the salt content and can't drink the soup, just drank it. I feel like I'm getting used to my body, and I can't stop. It may be close to the feeling of being relieved by drinking miso soup.

It is said that this black color is derived from "fish sauce" made from seafood. Also, it is said that the fish, vegetables and chicken from Toyama Bay are simmered and finished.

The slightly chewy noodles are also delicious when you smoke the soup. Then it will settle in your stomach. Completed in no time. Thank you for the meal.

In total, it wasn't a pointy taste, but it was a taste that made me want to go to eat again. If you are in the neighborhood Currently, only Yodobashi Akiba can eat this ramen in Tokyo. If you are interested, give it a try! In addition, you can enjoy another signboard menu, "White shrimp salt ramen," which uses Toyama Bay's special products.

By the way, on this restaurant floor, there is a zone where "bars" such as "Craft Beer Tap" where you can enjoy craft beer from all over the world gather, and an area like a food court where you can order cafe menus and bowls, "Live". There is a "food market", and stores that can be used in various situations are gathered.

Actually, the author who visited Iroha after drinking with a craft beer tap. The black soup soaks into the drunken body ... The ramen of the shime is the best.
